If so please bring them along to the front desk at club night or pass them to any committee members before the 8th June. Any donations you can make will be much appreciated.

We are also looking for more volunteers to join our fund raising committee, if you can offer ideas, time or support please let us know.

Only by raising funds can we continue to develop the club & keep our running costs to a minimum.
