We’re getting closer to Christmas and for some that’s good news and for others there’s not enough time to get everything done!
At the club we have a few Christmas celebrations coming up for the different age groups. We hope you are able to attend and share some Christmas fun, laughter, and joy with us.
Many thanks to Jo & Andrea who put up and decorated the Christmas tree in the clubhouse.
