Welcome to issue 44 of the newsletter
As the 2011/12 season approaches its final few weeks, we have two matches remaining – Lee's Watford extravaganza on Friday 11th May followed by the Jack Kyte Challenge Cup match between the Second Team and the Old Boys Team next Sunday. But the current season doesn't end until the Club Awards Presentation Lunch is completed and two weeks later, the Club's 36th AGM. The time-consuming effort to order the awards and get the engraving done on the perpetual trophies will be wasted if you do not support the Lunch on Sunday 3rd June. So far the response has been very poor and unless Club Members show some interest in this annual event, then I will have no option but to cancel it.

The Lunch is a social event giving you all a chance to have a drink and some food with other Club Members whilst celebrating our Award winners. All I need is some effort from as many as possible to make the event viable. A couple of players have emailed me saying they cannot attend but I really DO need the rest to respond with some urgency this coming week - or I will have no option but to forget the whole thing. I have set the deadline for SUNDAY 13TH MAY - that's next Sunday. Below are the details but you should have received an emailed reminder. Please do NOT delay any more - support this event!

AWARDS PRESENTATION LUNCH: SUNDAY 3RD JUNE 2012 – TIME TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT
This season's Awards Presentation Lunch has been scheduled for Sunday 3rd June 2012 at The Round Bush, Round Bush Lane, Aldenham, at 12 noon. Since the Club Awards will be presented for season 2011/12, we would like as many Club Members to attend as possible.

The cost of the main course is reasonably priced at £7, £9, £11 or £13 (see below) for a generous plate of good food. The main course must be paid for in advance which both reserves your place and makes payment by the Club easier on the day. Starters and desserts (although, unless you've got a large appetite, the main course should be ample) and drinks must be bought separately. Prices have been rounded up to allow for a service charge to be made on the day.
