HELP URGENTLY NEEDED WITH YOUNGSTERS
We need your help!

Because of the number of Under 11s joining us recently, we’ve had to block new membership applications from this age group. The situation will be reviewed in Jan when we can hopefully return to normal.

In the meantime, we’re looking for parents of any U11s to help with training on Tuesdays on a rota basis.

If you can help, please see Dennis Wall before Tuesday training sessions or email: [email protected]
