Hallmark February 1987. Report by Barrie Edwards
The eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed that no report was made in the last issue of Hallmark. This was due to the previous long-serving correspondent, John Stevens, laying down the quill and my picking it up! Thanks to John for the many reports.
The AGM of the Sports Club was held in November and (for once) was very well attended. The main officers are now: Chairman Barrie Edwards, Secretary Ian Clements, Treasurer Brian Kirby. A welcome to Ian as the new Secretary and many thanks to Maureen Ebbles for her work over the years.
The Clubhouse is at last being improved. The installation of central heating to the whole pavillion and carpeting of the main clubroom will both be completed by the end of February and will greatly improve the social atmosphere. Several bookings have already been received from members for private functions and with this extra income further improvements can be made. Our thanks go to Wycombe Council Lottery for a grant of £500 towards the overall costs of £3000+. Fundraising is, as ever, a necessity and a Race Night is planned for Friday 27th February, 7.30 pm. Cost £3 including a Fish and Chip Supper. Tickets from Mike Ebbles (P.Ris 6823) or Ian Clements (Naphill 3051). These are always lively evenings so get your tickets early!
