The Club AGM is coming up - and hopefully we've all received a letter from Michael about it - if not, the letter is the first document listed below. One of the main bits of business we'll deal with on the 5th September will be the adoption of a constitution and set of club rules. Michael has drafted up copies of each and an agenda for the meeting. Please read them and if you have any suggestions for changes send them to Michael Burniston by the 15th August and they'll be discussed at the AGM.
