Dear Club Member,

Please make every effort to attend, in order to renew your membership for the year ahead.
We will be taking membership from all individuals; yound and old, players, non players and club mentors. Getting our registration in place for the year allows club officers to focus on the other many aspects needed to ensure the club is ran in a proper and efficient manner for the year ahead also, so your support would be greatly appreciated on the evening.
