Skittles Night
The annual skittles night, which includes a basket meal has now been booked.
The venue, as before will be at The Mead End in Denmead on Thursday April 26th for a 18:45 start.
Cost and menu choices will hopefully be available soon. Details can be had at a club meeting
or by e-mail.
We generally get a good turnout at this event and so hope to see a few more of our new members and families
in attendance. The hall can cater for a large group, and those of you who attended the Christmas functions will
know the layout of the hall being used. There is a portable skittle alley which is laid out to the side of hall.
If you think you can support Julia and the club in April please let us know or sign your names on the list provided
during club meetings. There are prizes up for grabs and a new club champion winner to be found.
Contact: Julia G0IUY
Annual Coach Trip
The club’s annual coach trip is being looked into at the moment. Popular requests in order of votes from last year
have been placed. Since then other suggestions have also been received to add to the list.
When this is completed the list will be passed around again for approval. Another possibility being looked at
is a day trip on the Watercress line with cream teas and stop at a museum further up the line. Then maybe take in
picnic lunch.
Once a costing has been sought we will let you know. The cost of the final coach trip may include entry or just
the coach fare.

New Club Meeting Venue
The last club meeting to be held at Lovedean Village hall was held on March 22nd 2011.
All meetings from April 7th 2011 will be held at our new venue at Anders Hall,
off Milton Road, Waterlooville, PO7 6AW. Please pass on this information to any club
members that may not be aware of the new venue.
Website Addition
Hopefully you will have noticed an extra button on the left frame. Just press
the 'JOURNALS' button and this will take you to our new journals page. From here
you can view or download the club journal. You will need Adobe Reader to view these
files. I hope to include archived journals at a later date. Peter G8PIQ has been busy
converting the journals to PDF format. When they are ready they will be added.
Now you will be able to view your club journal online and will not miss any of your
favorite articles, even if you have lost your hard copy.
Club Awards Reminder
A reminder about the club awards. Full rules available from Dick G0RPX or G0FYX.
