New Captain
At the Annual General Meeting, on September 23, Mary Rowell stepped down as club captain and Bob Lusher took up the reins.
Mary has had a very good year as captain and many thanks are due to Mary for her gentle hand on the tiller and for all her efforts during the year. Best wishes to Bob for the coming year.
