Dates for your Diaries

League matches miss a week and recommence on Monday 16th February – I will list the matches next week.

PLEASE NOTE - Mike Clague has asked to remind all that the RTD Stott Handicap (2 cards), will be shot on the Sinclair range this evening, TUESDAY February 3rd and NOT the 4th as advertised. This is a “turn up on the night” event and I know the organisation, as usual will be excellent, so hopefully, it will be well supported as other recent competitions – the more the merrier.
