Fundraising Draw
We only have 5 weeks left of our Fundraising draw. This fundraising draw is important to raise vital funds to bring our club debt free into 2017. We would appreciate if everyone could do their bit and help us to achieve our target after all it’s Our Club – Your Club – One Club. To everyone who has been out selling tickets this hasn’t gone unnoticed, every ticket sold is an investment into our fantastic club. We appreciate that everyone has busy lives and so does every person who is already out selling tickets. Every ticket counts. Many hands make light work. If you are able to contribute to our clubs future please send a pm or contact any committee member who will put you in contact with a team leader. Reminder for all team leaders – returns are to be made every Tuesday night in the committee room at 9pm sharp.

Club Shop
Since our committee are out selling tickets for our Club Fundraiser we will be changing the opening times of the club shop until the end of the draw. The club shop will now be open on Sunday mornings from 11am – 12noon sharp. We know it’s only the start of October but we have decided to open our Christmas club to allow people to reserve & pay off on items over the next few months. This also ensures that you will get the size that you need. Once the stock is gone we will be unable to get extra sizes in before Christmas.
