What's happening at the club?
A huge thank you to the amazing volunteers who gave up their Saturday to help get the club looking spick and span. From building a mezzanine and installing racking in the containers, to carefully cleaning priceless club memorabilia and tackling a seemingly endless list of jobs, the effort, skill and generosity on show was extraordinary. Thank you all.
