Looking forward to seeing you there.

Due to some recent changes in the LTA’s incorporation and disciplinary codes, it has been necessary to revamp the Club’s Rules/Constitution to ensure compliance.  At the recent AGM, it was agreed by the members present that the new proposed  Rules/Constitution be sent out to members and if no issues were found or outstanding before the next Committee meeting, the document would be formally approved at that meeting.  Consequently, please advise me if you have any issues within the next 2 weeks.

Constitution in full
