Please enter your name on the Club s no ce board if you plan to a end. NEWS FROM THE MEETING ON FRIDAY 18 NOVEMBER Now that summer has finally arrived, the watering system has been checked and found to require some repairs. Please pile dead branches behind the Club building, out of the way. This helps our volunteer groundsman, Jonathon Cox, who otherwise has to do it himself. Also, if shredded plas c material falls out of the bu you are using, or if you pull out loose material, please PICK IT UP AND DISPOSE OF IT IN A BIN. DON T LEAVE IT ON THE GROUND FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO PICK UP. Quite a number of people have paid incorrect amounts for their annual club fees. Check that you are paying the right amounts as listed on the no ce board opposite the kitchen unit. Dates to Remember 3 Dec Field - QRE/Ranking Shoot Starts: 1.30 pm Shepherds Hill Recrea on Park 17 Dec End of year break up shoot and awards presenta on
