| Charity Week 2016 |
Thanks to those who gave us suggestions for this year's charity. We have decided to support Ben's First Steps - click on the the title "Charity Week 2016" to see the poster about this appeal. Charity week will be in the week starting 21st November. As last year, all of the table money from Monday, Tuesday and Thursday will be donated to the appeal and the club will match the amount raised. We will also hold a raffle across the week and the proceeds will be donated. We would welcome any items which can be used as raffle prizes. Please hand them to a committee member between 7th and 17th November. Please support this event.
