Come and Try 17th April
Well, the forecast was dreadful but we had 26! Yes, 26 lovely people who turned up to the ‘ Come and Try’ session this afternoon. We needed every single one of the members who turned out to help and they did a fabulous job taking small groups onto the lawns and giving them a great experience. We nearly ran out of mallets and every lawn was used with both primary and secondary colours. I won’t name every individual in case I miss someone and cause offence, but a special mention to Pat Burville who kept everyone going with hot drinks on a cold afternoon. The sun came out for the final 30 minutes!
Information
Please note that many important documents and useful information are posted on the club notice boards. When you are in the club, please take a few minutes to read them. Some have also been added to the ‘Constitution’ page of the website, so please take a look there to ensure that you are au fait with our rules and guidance.
Hoop Setting and Club Opening (16th March)
Fourteen members helped set out the lawns yesterday (14th). We had good weather and all went smoothly thanks to some very efficient prep work and organisation. I was amazed that all was completed in one morning, so we shall not need to use our reserve date next week. However, we still have the club room and tubing to get ready for opening so please come along to help on Saturday morning (16th).
HOOP SETTING THURSDAY 14th MARCH – IMPORTANT!!!
Please help if you are able. A number of our regular helpers are unavailable due to injuries or being out of the country. Without holes and hoops, none of us can play. Help may involve spraying markers at the side of the lawns, holding the end of strings across the lawns, making holes for the hoops and hammering them in. The first two are easy – anyone can do it, making hoop holes is hard work and requires a degree of physical strength aswell as accuracy. The helpers also need to be fuelled with coffee/tea and biscuits so jobs in the kitchen too!
Club prep – the rest of the jobs to be ready for opening will be Saturday 16th March with Sunday 17th as a reserve date.
Facebook Page
If you (or a younger member of your family) have a facebook page, please look in, follow and like posts on our HCC page. It is much quicker and easier for me to post quick pics and messages directly from my phone and you also have the opportunity to comment. Also, where appropriate, share posts to your own page so that we reach a wider audience. NB This is in addition to the website, emails and phone calls – it does not replace our traditional means of communication. PS Happy Birthday DT-W! 🎈🎉🍾🔵🔴⚫🟡
Wednesday Warriors
A big thank you to David, Charlie and John who spent last Wednesday morning working on the area behind the clubhouse. It looks much better! Weather permitting more will be done on 14th – what better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day! If you can’t be there, hope to see you the next morning at Norfolk Lavender.
Storm Isha
A huge thank you to Charlie, Gary and John who answered the call to arms after storm Isha blew over the shelter by lawn 5. They have righted it and secured it, so hopefully it will survive another season.
