Important Notice For All Club Members

Your Bowls Club Committee support this action and would ask all members to make the effort to attend this EGM and ensure the present officers of the Social Club are replaced by a new committee (consisting of a number of Bowls Club members).

All members of the Bowls Club are members of the Social Club and are therefore entitled to vote at this meeting.

However we cannot achieve our objectives unless you make the effort to attend the meeting and vote for the replacement of the existing Social Club Committee.

The EGM will take place in the Sports Hall at:

 7.30pm on Monday 30th January 2012

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
