Our Annual Lunch 2nd Feb 2020 at the North Wilts Golf Club, an excellent venue with great food, the room was a pleasure to eat in. Here are some photos of the happy day.
Monday January 13th 2020: this proved to be the record number of attendees for a session, 33 members turned up for a game, with co-operation from the members, most got at least 1 hour, however we have had to make the following decision, so as of the 14th January 2020 we regret we will be unable to accept any new members as we have now over 50 and are finding that sessions are full, we will however operate a waiting list and when we are able to take on new players, they will be contacted in order.
We can only apologise for this , but the success of the club has been astounding as we have only been going 15 months!
Please feel free to come and talk to us at sessions and we can always give you a chance to play to see if you would like the game.
Monday afternoon saw the Short Matters let their hair down (those that had any!!!). It was a free session with food included and 28 attended.
Father and Mrs Christmas (with their little helper) and a reindeer, what more could you ask for – even the wood centre blocks were removed and replaced with larger items!
Here are some photos for your amusement.
