Don't forget there is no club next week (2nd July) because I am away with KEGS at the National U19 School Finals. James, who has been along all year helping us out, and long-term helper Scott will both be playing.
The club will be open on 9th and 16th July to everyone. After that we will break up for the summer. I plan to run some sessions over the holidays so watch this space....
