The Member’s Handbook containing the schedule of events for 2023 will be published shortly on the club’s Website and notified to this effect on our Facebook page. Talking of Facebook, I would encourage those who don’t access our site to become a member, to ensure you are seeing the messages and information published.

We had the Annual General Meeting on 22 November. I would have like to see more members in attendance but, I accept that this type of meeting is not of interest to everyone.
