As I relayed in my note earlier in the week it is with great regret that we cancelled the Youth Ball that was planned for this weekend. I know that many of you were really looking forward to getting together and having a good time with friends from the club.

Having to cancel the event is also a financial blow for the club, The youth ball is our biggest event of the year and our largest fundraiser! In fact it was destined to have over 200 people attending on the night.

We have reserved a couple of dates at the High Rocks in September and October for the bigger and better (postponed) event to happen and we hope you will be able to join us then.

In the meantime the club is sat on your monies and I wanted to give you three options with regard to the £50 per head you have paid:

• roll over your monies to the new date of the event in the Autumn (if you can’t make the new date further down the line we can offer a refund then);

• request a refund of the monies to your account now;

• or to donate the monies to the club.

I will ask our organiser and all round superstar volunteer Sarah Raine to reach out to the table captains and ask for your replies.

In the meantime thank you for your continued support for the club and hopefully see you back at St Mark’s soon.

Mike

is is a real shame as it our biggest event of the year and our largest fundraiser!
