Club Communications

Dear all

Firstly thanks to David for the last couple of years as our chairman, he has done alot and helped out immensely within the club... But as things change we are looking as a group to evolve further and get better connected so, as agreed at the AGM last week, communications will be through the blog and the facebook group link on this page. As the new club chairman (president please from now on) I will try to keep this forum and the facebook community up to date as much as I can. However when you pay your subscription to David or Steve G - £10 we would like your email and mobile numbers so we can get information out when needed.

Over the next couple of weeks things on the blog and FB group should build up and our IT department will be setup. So keep checking this space, set it as a favorite maybe?? Next general meeting will be on 16th October at 7pm to discuss progress and any issues, at the Squash Club. I shall publicise an agenda on this forum shortly before the meeting...

Regards - President
