Club
News
Hi all this is my first day as new club PRO
as our famous John Cashman has decided to call time on his role. I would like
to take this opportunity to thank John for all the tremendous work that he has
done over the years. He has been a great asset to our club for so long. His
reports and news updates were vital to every club member. I just hope I can
follow his legacy with the same professionalism that he has shown. Take a bow
John...
