New Members 2016
Our season started at 2pm on Saturday 9th April 2016 with our 'Try it day'. This day is for non-members or new novice members to come along ask the committee questions about the club and roll some woods on the green (equipment supplied). Despite the chilly wind and hailstorms, the event was well supported, and we welcome the new members who joined following their introduction to the game and some initial coaching.
We also took the opportunity to open the bar for the first time this season.
