With 2017 fast approaching its time to think about the match venues for next year. Last year the clubs three matches were all held at Dromonby Farm. What venues would the members like the clubs matches to be held at next year? Should all matches be at the same venue or a combination of three different venues? Some suggestion received so far;
Dromonby
The Oaks
Woodlands
Carrs Lakes
Renny Lakes
What would the members preference be, as some are a lot further to travel than the others and costs may differ.
