We had a very successful first session with 8 students from Ringwood School on Wednesday and one of the students already shows great promise.
We are expecting 10 students from next week onwards and would welcome some more helpers/trainers at the sessions.
If you are able to help, please contact Barry Vaughan on 07714 299194 for more details. 
These School sessions also bring parents into the Club, when they collect the students, which is a great way of getting interest locally.
 
The NFBA Men's 1st  and 'B' teams got away to flying starts, just like the previous Thursday's Ladies team.
Unfortunately, the Thursday Ladies and Men's 'A' team matches were called off due to the wet weather.
Saturday's B&DBA teams were not as successful, with only the'A' team coming home with a win. See below for all the match details.
 
This week's 50/50 Club winner is, Chris Dalrymple. Well done Chris.
