Christmas Street Collection: Our very successful Christmas street collection is on the horizon. Can we ask that all members try and keep an hour free to pitch in and help out. Contact Brendan Conlon on 07768 381489.
Sympathies & support: The club, all our players and members continue to offer our thoughts, prayers and support for all families in our club and our community dealing with sickness and bereavement at this time.
