KIDLINGTON CLUB
Our Satellite Club has gone from strength to strength over the last few months. We have a good group of players of all grades – male and female.
The next step will occur about the end of this month, when we look to start a new Junior Club on a Sunday Morning.

OTHER NEWS
One of Club Players, Rory Dymond, is not well at present and has not been able to train. We all wish him well at this time and hope that he will make a good recovery and be able to train again soon.
LOST: Has anyone seen a Norwegian Blue Parrot, lost by Iain Wittwer? It scuttled away to the Fjords, when Iain wasn’t able to get around as he kept falling off his crutches!
It has been suggested that we invest in Polo style shirts with a Club Logo to be worn when we go to Gradings and Competitions. Please send feed back to me by email or when you see me on Training Sessions.
Can anyone think of a suitable name for the Newsletter?
If anyone has any news or information to put into the newsletter, please let me know – either at training or by email: iain.wittwer@btinternet.com.
