Club secretaries  Please make sure this newsletter  is pinned up on your club notice board

It is extremely frustrating to spend a lot of time putting this newsletter together and to be told “ We would have entered but we didn’t know it was on” 0r “We forgot!”

I have been to quite a few clubs and looked for the Events News on noticeboards and have been sadly disappointed to see it not there.

 

May we take this opportunity of wishing you all a safe and happy Easter.   We send a special Cheerio to John Kenworthy of Augusta

Croquet Club who’s recent accident involving a ladder had nothing to do with the excellent bottles of red wine from the Augusta Valentine’s Day Tournament.  Get well soon John.
