Any more spring lambs? I only have a very small but distinguished group so far. As you may know, several members of LVO are currently in the middle of a coaching assessment and as part of this we need to put on a Physical Training Session.

Some feedback I’ve had is “no-one has asked me to help”.  Don’t worry, you can fire on ahead and volunteer without being asked!  What’s more, it’s so much more fun when that happens. The current roster is in the photos (EDIT – no it’s not – it went blurry!), on each fixture, and on Facebook (LVO Club Discussion Read More …
