Last Saturday evening we had a very enjoyable scramble to commence with. Our Juveniles were very much part of this scramble and enjoyed the mentoring of their team players during the game.

This was followed by our fun Bingo and Karaoke. May I take this opportunity of thanking Brendan Keane for his very light hearted and humorous running of the Bingo and once again Brendan co-ordinated a very enjoyable Karaoke?
