A message from the Club President

      Dear Members,

  Latest update from the club – September 2020

  Our new lighting system is now completed.

 The club is open from Monday 7^th September for a free week. The club is open daily Mon to Friday - 10 am till 4 pm

 and 7pm to  9pm Monday and Wednesday night. You will be able to drop in and play however to ensure sufficient social

 distancing we would be obliged if  you could contact us prior to coming.  We will be happy to take membership fees during the week.

There is no change to the membership fee structure for this year.

There are teams looking for players so if you wish to play please let us know and we will provide details to allow you to make contact.  If you are a team member and perhaps the sponsor has decided to give up please contact us and we will help you to continue to play.

This is our fiftieth year. The club needs your support.  We have put measures in place throughout the club to ensure your safety and well being.   If you feel that you would prefer to wait till the new year to return please let us know.

The section secretaries are looking at the best way to arrange the playing order for the coming year so would be of great help if sponsors could confirm to the club their intentions for next season.

This is an exciting time for the club.  We are making many improvements so come along and enjoy the company.  Why not bring a friend - it is only £60 for the first year.
