Update from Chairman, Mark Irvine.

As a result of the quiz night on Saturday 14th Nov £481.30 was raised to help fund Bangor YM. On behalf of the Committee I would like to thank the CD Club for the use of their premises, Blake Bolton for stepping in at short notice to solve a few technical issues, Brian Douglas for compiling the questions along with our compere on the evening Simon Boyd. There is also those like Dougie McOwat who collected the entrance fee along with the committee members who sold the ballots etc, all contributed and all are worthy of being thanked. I would also like to thank all of you who turned up on the night and made it a very successful night.

To those players who turned up a big thank you for not only turning up but for supporting your club. It is unfortunate there were not more players there. They missed a very good night. That was what being a member of a club is all about. A big thank you must also go to the past members who were there along with the wives, girlfriends and friends who all contributed. 

We hope to run another night in the New Year so please let everyone know what they missed. However although this night was successful our main sponsor is Monroes and if we do not support it by going down for a drink on a Saturday there is a danger that we may lose this vital sponsorship. Please support Monroes by going down for a drink on  Saturday because by doing so  you are supporting your club. 

On a positive note results for the firsts have improved over recent weeks and I would encourage all players and members to support the management team under Alan by attending training and competing for your  place in the first team.This is where any player should want to play. Once again thanks to all for your support 

Your Chairman Mark
