We are trying to make sure there is at least one session for our older juniors and senior members to attend. Each session will require someone to help set up, take money and put away. Please can I ask that everyone helps the person who is organising. Also if you can help then please tell me.
Also the final thing we ask is that everyone remembers that these games are put on FOR FUN. If members exhibit a negative attitude to other players they will be asked NOT to attend.
Thanks
Tessa on behalf of the committee.
