Welcome to the season. This year I am your President which I am looking forward to and I am also looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible and playing as many games with you too. As I became a Patron recently probably within the last 2 or 3 years, and whilst I have met quite a few of you there are some ladies not so well known to me and so it will be good for me to see as many of you playing in as many games as you can.
I think you are all aware of the Patrons and County Games and you are all eligible to play in them and for me, it will be good to see as many of you as possible taking part in them.
This year my Charity is Alzheimers, partly because unfortunately it is fast becoming an ever increasing debilitating illness which not only affects those suffering from it but also their loved ones who help to support and take care of them and, partly because a very close friend of mine lost her mother to it and ever since she has worked tirelessly as a Volunteer helping to raise funds and I feel that in itself is a good enough cause to support it.
Finally, I would like to wish you all the best of luck with any of your competitions and games you take part in but of course whatever you do enjoy the season.
Jan Ascough
(President)
