Please could you come and help our beginners on a Tuesday night?
Remember how you felt when you had only just had a handful of lessons and were about to start playing in a proper supervised game?
Scary or what?!!
We thought it would be good if some of our members could come along on a Tuesday night to act as a "mentor" to our newest people - a bit of personal support to make everyone feel that much more comfortable. You don't need to commit to every Tuesday but whenever you can would be great....and no table money of course.
Dave will be running the session and if you can make it please give him a quick ring on 07717 252114 to say you plan to be there (7.15 for 7.30 start)
THANKYOU!

| RAY'S "JOG" FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS |
RAY ASHLEIGH'S AMAZING RETIREMENT "JOG"
https://exrayraylejog.home.blog
"I wanted to do some walking after I retired and, in what may turn out to be a mad moment, I thought it would be a good idea to walk from Lands End to John O’Groats (LeJog). This is a well known charity walk, often done on roads (e.g. by Ian Botham). There are a number of books and blogs that describe the walk cross country which increases the distance from 874 miles to 1100 or more depending on the route. The route can be done, of course, from South to North or North to South (becoming JogLe!). The advantages of LeJog include walking with the prevailing wind and (rain!) coming from behind the walker, hopefully I will be fitter by the time I get to the Pennine Way and the Highlands and a new walking route between Inverness and John O’Groats should be complete in 2020 (currently most walkers use the A9)."
