The Christmas Concert and Tea is this Sunday, 15th Dec, 1.30 pm for 2 pm start.
If you haven’t already signed up at the club, it’s only £3 so you can just roll up. But if you want cake please let Ros know!

Please only use Lawn 1 as a last resort.

Squirrels are being a nuisance and we have put removable covers over the holes.

We don’t want to close the lawn if possible, but please use other lawns when free,

The lawns have been reconfigured for the rest of the Winter Season and setup is complete.

This was to move the lawns so that we avoid the worst of the frost along the edge parallel to the path.

Thank you to everyone who braved the weather to support the craft fair, a total of £854 was raised on Saturday 23rd Nov for club funds.
A further £237 has been added to the takings, bringing the total raised to £1,091

Thanks so much to Liz Webb for donating her original artwork to the club for a sealed bid auction. The winning bid was for a very generous £1000, which will go directly to our club funds. Many thanks to all who submitted a bid. Much appreciated.

Also thanks to Lorna, Carole, Adrian, Kay, Sylvia, Ken and Sue for providing such beautiful and delicious crafted items and produce.
