New members
This month we welcome Emily Stretch, Kirsty van Reenen and Joe Harbridge as new senior members to the club.
Membership subs
Thank you to about two thirds of you who have renewed your subs. However there are still a few people yet to pay up. If you are one of those people please renew your membership as soon as possible. If you can’t find your invoice please send me an email. Also please also let me know if your contact details have changed.
