2010 IDEAS

Andrew advised the meeting that Victoria is making progress.

The aim is to establish the Terrance Marsden trail using the route that Victoria is working on. Progress this with the Council when everything is finalised. The idea is to use basic information which is only visible from the path which will all be on public rights of way.

  

100 Club

As Jon was away the draw was carried over to next month.  

 

EVENT REPORTS

Hockey on Friday 15th May at 7pm Organiser Russell

Russell reported that was a lower turnout than previous years probably due to the cold and wet weather conditions. There was also a clash with a prizes presentation at a school or club. There were enough people to have 2 good size teams. The final score was 4 all and then they played extra time but there were no more goals. Russell had been the referee.

7 people had turned up but the weather was so wet it was decided not to do the ride.
