Club meeting - March CANCELLED

The committee wish to advise club members that the meeting for Sunday 28 March has been cancelled due to the rising numbers of Omicron in our community. We are aware that the government has revised a lot of the restrictions, but we felt that our members would be best served by not having the meeting this month and letting the wave flow through Canterbury. We look forward to a much less restrictive meeting in April. There are some upcoming outdoor events coming up in Canterbury which I’m sure club members will enjoy and we look forward our April meeting. The club book is at the printers.
