What a busy year we have had, it was nice to celebrate it in style with around 36 members and guests.

A huge thank you goes to Linda Pike for arranging everything,

from seating plans to who's having what.

This was followed on the calendar with the start of the NW Federation League  - I am pleased to inform you that our team finished in second place in the Southern league - with LLanfairfechan Pioneers the winners of our league - Crake Valley won the Northern League - making them both joint winners.
