March, April and May Print Nights Cancelled

The committee has decided to cancel the March, April and May print nights.

Print nights will recommence at the Valentine Bowling Club on Wednesday 8th June providing health guidelines in place at the time make it practicable to do so.

Whilst many of you will be disappointed, the committee took this decision to provide some certainty to members over the coming months and to allow the current Omricon wave to subside and with it an easing of restrictions, particularly the mandated wearing of masks in indoor settings. If you have any questions or comments please contact one of your committee members.
