AWAY DAY TO THE BLACK HORSE, CROSTON – SATURDAY 28th JUNE
Names are still being taken for the Club’s Away Day at the Black Horse, Croston on Saturday 28th June. Please see attached for details and notify Mike Milne (michaelmilne66@outlook.com / 07752352065) or speak to Bill Bloor if interested. A good number of members have already registered for this trip but we will need to know numbers well in advance in order to help with the catering arrangements.
This is the first time the Club has organised an away day for members and it should be a great day out at a superb venue. All are welcome, bowlers and supporters alike.
