Decorating
Thanks from Denise below:-
“Several people came forward to help decorate the club house last weekend. It was Rob Hanks that started it by getting the paint for the door into the hangar. Mark from Cornwall painted the door by Martin’s office after someone else had rubbed it down. So I would like to thank Rob Hanks, Walter Bauman, Jon Hall, Dave D’Arcy for helping with the painting and Dave Crowson for helping with removing and replacing the pictures and notice boards, in the main club house. Also Jon Hall, Baron Taylor have offered to go during the week to almost finish off, So a big thank you to them as well.
Cheers.
Denise.”
Your team this weekend is:
Saturday: Clive Crocker, Allan Reynolds, Guy Hartland, Jon Hall
Sunday: Denise Hughes, Guy Hartland, Mark Wakem
