| County Events |
Stafford members Anne and Geoff were members of the runners up team, Paul Culter's team, in the 2021/22 season. Paul is inviting discussion for the 2022/23 season. Should it be f2f as in pre-Covid days or online as last year? If online should it be for a fixed date, say the second Thursday of each month? Have your say.
