Nat Club Championships – This will take place at Soham on Sun 11th July. The programme will be issued this week.
It is a concern that there has been a low response from clubs. It is important that we provide the opportunity for our young teams to become Champions of England. It may be communications, it may be the format, it may be that entry fees have been required for the first time or it may be understanding. This has to be considered and ideas for what to do to make it more effective should be put forward with the AGM being an appropriate opportunity for discussion.
Cup Finals – This takes place on 24 July at the Pier Pavilion, Herne Bay. The Programme will be issued this week. The event will commence at 11am with U/15 Final. There will be no U/11 Final (minimum entry rule)
