NEW VICE PRESIDENTS

There was a good turn out at the club on Saturday 19th for the AGM and Captains' Event. The finale was the announcement of two new Club Vice Presidents - (i) Sue Brinn - for countless years' Club service on and off the pitch; and (ii) Wendy Carter - for her captaincy of the Ladies 1s in their run up to countless promotions, and her coaching activity.

These events followed an Intra-Club Tournament, where the adverse weather regrettably affected numbers. Thanks to Brendan Baker for organising this.
