We will be holding two Open Days and are thinking about holding U3A sessions at the club. These both need your help in running.

Help with tasks required at the Club.There will be a working party on Saturday 2nd April to prepare the Clubhouse and Surroundings prior to the new season. Please make the Committee aware if you can help.
As always there are a number of ongoing general maintenance tasks that have been identified as needing attention. We know many members have asked if they can help in any way. There is much expertise within the club that can be utilised to avoid expensive professional help. Please make the Committee aware if you are able to help.
Pre-Season Lunch/ Coffee Mornings

We will also be repeating holding anumber of Coffee mornings on Saturdays during the summer, again to help maintain social contact throughout the club.
Drives
Drives are normally run on Sundays and play starts at 2.30pm. These are for the Ray King and Florence Wood Cups. Points are accumulated during the season. To qualify a minimum of 5 games must be played, but if you play more games (and we hope you will) the scores from the best 5 games will be counted.
