Just a quick reminder that next Tuesday 2nd April will see the return of Tuesday evening club sessions. Start time 6pm, see you there 🙂
New Features
If you’ve yet not braved the recent cold weather to come up to the club for a while, it’s worth a look! We have recently installed two benches where spectators will be able to sit, relax, and watch games in the summer sunshine(?!), as well as an incredibly smart sign giving information about the club and a useful guide to the rules.
Over the coming weeks we will also be adding a layer of slightly larger gravel to the smaller terrain to provide a different playing surface, so be sure to check it out.
A huge thank you to Alan, Charles, and Paul, who collectively designed and fitted the sign and benches, and to Wades for the funding to make this all possible.
AGM Update
Following this week’s AGM, thank you and congratulations to the following members who have volunteered and been elected to the committee.
- Chair – Paul
- Secretary – Chris
- Treasurer – Mike
- Committee – Alan
- Committee – Charles
- Committee – Gavin
- Committee – Jo
- Committee – Neill
- Committee – Pam
In addition, Gavin has kindly agreed to maintain the website, so if you have any content or photos please do get in touch with him directly.
In other news, the following key points from the meeting will also be of interest to members.
Melees – rather than continuing with the monthly melee, the club will instead focus on arranging a club day / social at some point in summer. The committee will organise this and set a date shortly so watch this space!
Club Sessions – in order to avoid extensive hanging around waiting for the last game to finish before enabling the remix of players, starting this Sunday, the last game playing will instead play just one further end after everyone else has finished to determine the result. This will speed up the remix of players and enable everyone to begin the next round sooner.
Equipment – access to equipment is limited due to the opening times, so it would be greatly appreciated if any members with spare boule could bring them to future sessions so that others can borrow them. We are currently looking at alternative storage options, but for now any spare sets will be helpful.
The full minutes have been circulated to members, so that’s it for now and see you soon 🙂
Annual General Meeting 2024
Next Tuesday 12th March at 6pm we will be holding our AGM at the Vesper Gate Pub. This is your opportunity to have your say on how the club is run, and perhaps even put yourself forward to join the committee.
Following the AGM there’s the option to join the pub quiz at 8pm.
Hope to see you there!
