Hello!
We’re in planning mode at the moment. Setting plans for the summer season, from our Open Day (on the 17th May) to fundraising activities, new tournaments, events, dinners and Member events too. We’re also finalising the details of our Membership arrangements with the Golf Club, some essential works to your Club, developing our plans for padel and ensuring we’re heading into the summer with plenty of energy and dynamism! We’ll keep you updated with our progress. Of course, if you want to make any suggestions or wish to be involved, please do get in touch. For each of our sporting activities, there’s a committee. Hardworking Members who give their time to organise events and coordinate activities. Please do keep your eyes on the noticeboards and website to get involved!
