CLUB SHIRTS

A lot of admiring and complimentary remarks have been received this year on our new club shirts and even

more on the  bold choice by the A team to match with navy blue bottoms. Some members have

expressed thoughts on the whole club going over to them instead of greys. Hmmm..

STOP PRESS! The Ladies section have decided on Navy Bottoms next year ( The clothes, of course.!)...

For those members who want a club shirt, they now can be supplied at the Clubhouse from various

members of the Comittee, Danny, Richard, Vicky etc. The new delivery has arrived at last and we

should have all sizes in stock now.

​

WINTER LEAGUES/COMPETITIONS

Our Winter leagues have now started - keep your eye on the Clubhouse notice board for teams

and dates.. Remember, our club is the only one on the Island that covers winter play on a full size rink

that is included in the subscription! The entry forms for the Indoor Competitions is now on the Club noticeboard - Competitons start in November.

NEWS ON OUR NEWSLETTER

Colin Beavis, who has edited and published our weekly newsletter for the last 13 years or so, is finally hanging up his 'Editors Hat'. He will not be producing and publishing his letter in the South Wight Chronicle, or the Clubs website after the season closes. What a fantastic and dedicated job he has done for the Club in performing this task week in and week out without a miss.

He also produced the first website for the Club back in the day - one of the 1st clubs to have one on the Island. However, he will not be retiring from the game and his skills on the green will still be enjoyed by all.

The website will try and provide some of the weekly info Colin provided, but sadly, it will not be quite so comprehesive.

​

SAD NEWS.

One of the best loved characters at the Club, Tony Horrnby. has sadly passed away this week. Tony, has been there so long he seemed like part of the furniture. He always had had an opinion on everything and you could always heve a good bit of banter with him. He will be certainly be sadly missed by the men players in the Club and our love and sympathy go to his lovely wife Janette. God Bless Tony.
