Whilst the indoor season might still seem a while away we need to decide if we wish to enter a team into the MidGlos Wednesday Evening Interclub league. The plan this season is for there to be two divisions based on how well teams did last year. Each division will have 6 teams so we will play 10 games in total playing every two weeks. Midglos have dropped the rink fees to £2 per match. To make this viable we usually need a squad of players so can you please email Michael Cox at mikeycoxy@gmail.com if you would be interested.
The heat appears to have made the foxes even more active and they are attacking the greens again. If anyone has any hanging baskets that they aren’t using could you possibly let Kevin have them. We use them to cover any fox scratchings/holes on the greens but the volume has increased recently and we simply don’t have enough.
The Minutes of the 7 August Management Meeting have been posted on the website in the members area.
