Everyone enjoyed our open evening. A huge thank you to members, parents, staff and volunteers who prepared stalls and the raffle and helped with the organisation of the evening. Also a huge thank you to all our visitors who came and joined in with our event. Many commented that it was great to see a club night in action and it was lovely to be able to thank, in person, people who are so generous in donating to our club. Guess the number of sweets in the jar was very popular and won by club member Jess!
