Darts: As expected, we lost to a very accomplished darting outfit. For captain Terry Evans, the evening had its ups and downs. During the warm-up 1001 game, he actually scored zero in three darts, a feat only recorded once before in the history of the league. However, having amused both teams, he played some inspiring darts during his singles match to overcome the opposing captain. Terry, accompanied by John 'double-eight, double-eight' Akrill, were the only doubles winners, with John getting the elusive final double.
All agreed the evening had been played in a friendly and sporting manner, with some memorable moments, including Les's 180.
This (Friday) evening we are away to Castle Inn, Manorbier. Vice-captain, Colin Parmenter will have to inspire the troops in the absence of Terry, who is on choral duties.
Forthcoming events: A few events coming up this month to note include the following:
Sunday, March 15 - working party to get club boats ready for the coming season, starts 10 am. The more that turn up the sooner it will finish!
Wednesday, March 25 - jam session at the club. Please note the change of date. All are welcome - it's the place to be.

Annual subscriptions: It's that time of the year. Annual subscriptions are now due. Would members please note, we have some major capital spends scheduled, hence the plea. A newsletter and fixture card will be posted out shortly.
Club openings: The opening hours have reverted to Friday and Saturday evenings, with the occasional function thrown in. Any time variation will be published in advance. On a procedural note, would members please have their membership cards to hand as temporary bar staff may not know the identity of all our members?

Future events: A social calendar is being prepared - watch this space.
This is a very friendly and welcoming club, which endeavours to involve all members in a variety of activities. If anyone would like to join us, now is an ideal time, especially with the discount still on offer. Contact any member who will be delighted to furnish you with further details.
