If you have visited the club recently you will have noticed how good the club and grounds are looking. As well as Paul, looking after the green, Brian Harrington, Mel Barrett, Neil Richmond and Ivan Griffin, colloquially known as The Old Boys (their words not mine) have been beavering away improving the club and grounds during and since the end of the season. They have been banging away in all weathers and Mel has toiled away, for 2 weeks, staining the fences. I'm sure you will join me in thanking all of ‘Old Boys’ for their hard work, effort and dedication.
A few words from our President and General Secretary
'To walk into the car park and grounds and to see how clean and tidy and fresh it looks is a very rewarding sight.
It doesn’t take a minute to notice and to pass a positive comment but it does make a such a difference to everyone who works so hard.
It takes all sorts of input from different people to make our club run as well as it does and it is all very much appreciated
Kind regards
Chris and Doug xx'
