MESSAGE FROM BRYAN GAUNT

Hi All

As you know a considerable amount of effort has gone in to keeping harmony with the allotment holders regarding the gate access.

It appears that both side are not entirely adhering to the agreed process.

It is quite clear and the process has been communicated regularly.

Please would you take every opportunity to remind members that on non club days or special event days upon entering and leaving the club the gate MUST BE closed. The last member leaving the club needs to lock the gate.

Well done to Steve Whiting and Jon Wilson representing Chipstead winning the Borough Pairs again this year in their final against David Rigg and Jim Cunningham of Redhill. Many thanks to all the teams that entered, the RBC volunteers on the day and Ames Brisley for the  event organisation and Lyn Davison for organising the catering.  Also many thanks to Beadles …

Today’s match has been postponed by Old Coulsdon due to water lying on the green. New date Wednesday 12th September.

The preliminary rounds are now complete and the line up for the semi-finals is now known.
We much appreciate the continued support of this event by Beadles KIA Coulsdon. They have kindly donated our top raffle prize – a car “LifeShine” Autoglym treatment including a full valet.
Spectators are very welcome.
