If you are not in a team but want to play let me know (or put your name down on the notice board at the Club) and I will organise additional teams. If you are not already in a team but would be interested in filling in from time to time please let me know (or put your name down on the notice board at the Club). Rob McGuire: 0407512220
The ladies will be saddened by the recent passing of Gladys Van de Kamp who was a Club player and had been in ill health for a time – a life well lived.
