It’s been a very successful season and it’s all down to the continued support of the members and their efforts in getting entries in. The standard of entries is constantly increasing which is great for the club and I’m sure if it continues it won’t be long before we have regular success in external competitions.

We have a series of challenging competitions planned for the 2010/11 season, details of which can be found later in the newsletter.

Thanks to all who supported the competitions during the season and I look forward to your continued support in the coming year.

Chris
