We are extremely sad to inform members of the sudden, unexpected death of our friend Jim Wilkinson. Jim has been a constant presence in the club for many years and a joy to play with and against. He also served on the board, most recently as Chair. He will be very greatly missed. 

The bowling club are generously allowing us to occasionally use some of their parking spots this summer.

The spaces available  this week are during the E. District Congress Sat 13th/Sun14th.

(updated every Sunday evening for coming week)
