The Laird announced that there were two spaces on Friday for the RNLI golf at Newbiggin.

For those attending, first tee is at 9.10. Bacon roll and coffee can be taken pre or post golf. Anyone opting for the former should allow sufficient time prior to tee off!

It was suggested that the delayed Bob Hallett Memorial golf could take place 1^st July, that would enable Simon to attend.
