As most of you know, our Membership Secretary, Eric Finestone, was taken ill recently whilst playing at the club. I’m glad to say that Eric is now on the mend after surgery and we all wish him a full and speedy recovery. During Eric’s enforced absence I have taken over his role and as part of the task have been endeavouring to recover any as yet unpaid subscriptions. I am sorry if I unwittingly ruffled a few feathers but only Eric has that smooth persuasive manner!   

If members agree to the rebuilding programme, the club will have to be closed for about 6 months with home matches having to be rescheduled from Monday 20 March April 3rd 2006. Hopefully, we should be up and running by 1 September in readiness for the 2006/07 season.  

Many congratulations to Jane Campbell, who has been selected for the England squad for the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne . I know that Jane and our professional coach, Simon Rockall, have worked very hard for this success. Well done!  

With the extension details included with this Newsletter I have no room to expound further. More next time.
