This success is down to your support – thank you for participating in and volunteering your services, helping put on a great club programme.

Today we enjoyed the last of our 4 score training activities put in place to help prepare us for the forthcoming NI Score Champs in a couple of weeks time. Thank you to our planners/organisers, Mark Earnshaw, Michael Burton, Alan Brett and Peter Reed, along with other lovely people, who made these activities fun and challenging👏. Not using the MOO so much over the restrictive covid period and working out of the back of a car along with the relocation of the LVO store has meant that the kit has been harder to keep track of. With the busy, exciting Read More …
