Both Thursdays and Saturdays are wellattended by members and all our events and activities are very well supported and received. Attendance averages between 25 to 30 members per club. We maintain a club membership of 52 with a waiting list of 12 for Saturday Club and 4for Thursday Club. 2 new members have been welcomed thisyear 8nd we have 3 new helpers bringing our total helpers to 23.
