A request for help
The committee have been discussing for quite a while now, how we go about making the club bigger and better. Over the last few years we have seen a number of new initiatives that have helped recruit new members to the club, culminating this year with the biggest influx for many years, 13 new members. There are a number of important factors that have changed the recruitment fortunes this year and to further build on this success we would like to let our members know what we would like to put in place commencing with the 2012 season.

Tiree trip 2011
In the past club trips have been fairly local, places like Wells, Bridlington etc. This time we decided to be a little more adventurous and to sponsor the trip with a view to getting a big response. We certainly got that, 14 members in total made the journey, the biggest turnout for a long time. The destination was the island with the UK’s biggest reputation……
