Jonty Parkinson of 44 Stoney Bank Road is now a full member and we welcome him. Re: the bins These should go out alternate Sundays and were missed on Sun 13th Sep and need to be brought back in on Monday. Please help if you are turning up to play, we have more players than bins. Jobs cannot always be left to the same people. Players are also asked to avoid the corners when playing other than in matches, begin your game along the boundary below the corner i.e. furthest away from first hoop! The stewarding system, eg opening up and greeting players for tournaments and closing up afterwards has rather broken down at the end of the season. Please try and volunteer to do one or either for next season. There will be 5 CA tournaments and 1 Golf Tournament with a total of 16 days when caterers and stewards will be required in 2010. The John Beech Lawns notice boards have been somewhat occluded by the new machine hut. These are to be moved to a spot more visible from the car park. YEARBOOK ENTRIES Please check your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address in the current yearbook and submit any corrections as soon as possible to Barbara Dutton/Mike Roberts/Geoff Whitaker by your chosen method of communication. COMMITTEE MEETINGS: Next committee meeting Tue 20th Oct 10.30am. Anything you want on the agenda should be sent to Geoff Whitaker by Tue 6th October (via email to BD or by phone or post to GW).
