I trust the New Year resolutions are holding up well? If not, there's always next year??? We had an immensely busy season last year, and we are hoping to go bigger and better this season! So, what's been happening since you were last at the club? WINTER WORKING PARTIES - Every Saturday from 26th January 10.3

There are still a few Friday evening social sessions to go this season. For Open events held at the club the
