Obviously, this is a huge disappointment to all of us. Our first duty is to keep our visitors and volunt ...Continue Reading

*Cancellation of 2020 meetings* * * With regret the Club has taken the decision to cancel our remaining meetings for 2020 - October, November and December.  Although village halls may be opening up for small meetings your Committee felt that it would be unwise and maybe unsafe to ask you to gather.  Also, both village halls could only safely accommodate under 30 people so it would be very difficult and disappointing to turn members away due to the limit on numbers However, the good news is that nearly ...Continue Reading
