General Meeting
Club Committee meetings continue in the Clubhouse every Monday Night 
at 8 pm. We will be discussing final arrangements for the official 
pitch opening on Sunday 6th May. We would like any parishioners who 
can help out in any way to attend this meeting as there is a lot of 
work to be done. This is also putting a large financial restraint on 
the club so we would welcome any financial backing from any local 
businesses or persons. Many thanks.
