For those who park in the car park/drive, please keep clear of the drive area marked for coaches. If there are no other spaces available, then before parking in the coach spaces please check the signs showing times of coach use to be sure that you would not be blocking coach parking for schools.
For those who enter or leave by the back gate on the Blackberry Path, you must ensure that the gate is locked after you. There have been damaging intrusions which were made easy by the gate being unlocked.
This week the grounds are in use for school sports days on:
Tuesday 18 June
Thursday 20 June
Where possible, avoid using the car park on these days. Then and in general please drive with consideration for others, by which I mostly mean drive slowly!

We would like to take this opportunity whilst we have numerous children Summer camps in operation to remind all adults members to be mindful, when using the shower facilities, if there are children in and around the changing room areas. This is to ensure the required safeguarding measures are in place protecting both the children and the Club. The Safeguarding Policy, which can be found pdf

Male members should generally use the first floor changing room shower facility rather than that on the ground floor. There may be the exceptional situation where this may not be appropriate and the sports coaches will direct you accordingly.
Should you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me or one of the Board members.
I had sent a Club News advising of a planned tea for the Club and our neighbours on May 8. Well, I read that enthusiasm for such events has waned accross the country, and the Club and its neighbours turn out to be no exception. Given the lack of response, we won't hold the planned tea party.
I hope everyone nevertheless is able to enjoy the coronation weekend, and if you happen to be knocking around a ball of any description at the Club, why not bring cake to share!
