Meeting 11/01/06 - Craig has proposed 4 venues and provisional dates for this years cup competitions these are as follows. 25th March Catterick 27th May Ramside 23rd July Fulford and 22nd July Hunley hall.  Lists will be put on the notice board for those members who wish to play in these. Some concerns have been raised about the cost of some of these venues.

 

Meeting 02/02/06 – Fulford was dropped from the list of venues as it was deemed too expensive for the society at this time however should we be in a position to subsidise the course in the future we can then re-consider the course.  Other days booked as follows:
