Club News - 2008

Club room to move to Hog Hill

At the Club's AGM, it was agreed to relocate the club room to the new £4.5m Hog Hill cycling circuit. No date has yet been set for the change as yet. Club subs for seniors, unchanged for the last few years have been raised to £35 to cover the increase in room changes from our current location, however this change presents some exciting new possibilities for club nights and it was felt to be well worth the extra expenditure.
