We have the Rugby club booked from 8:00 to 11:00pm but will still be swimming from 7:30 - 8:30pm, so the AGM will commence at 9:00pm. Their will be a bar there, and a buffet later on, as well as the Annual Prize Presentation.
Can those of you who won Trophies last year, please let me have them back, so that I can get them engraved for this year's winners.
If you have any amendments or anything to discuss at the AGM, please email Tom on tom.rebbitt@btinternet.com

Tom Rebbitt is currently collecting kit orders:
"Who wants what? It's that time of year again as we look to determine what the interest for training/race kit is for next year. Depending on requirements we will either go through Advance Performance (good for low volumes but a bit limited by what they're stocking) or place our own order.
So let us know what you're after and don't forget to drop hints to the right person about Xmas presents!"
email tom.rebbitt@btinternet.com with your orders now.

The Spinning Classes will again be on, at Stanground College on
Thursday night's from 3rd Nov until the end of Feb. 6:30 - 7:20pm. We
have booked the suite for a private session - just the Fenland Clarion
and Pactrac. We charge £3 for adults and £1 for juniors. (Their are
other Spinning Classes at Stanground, but these are in with other
members of the public and cost £4.) We have 20 bikes available on a
first come, first served basis, and the classes do start on time, so
please be a few minutes early to get set up.
Directions: From the Stanground Fire Station RAB, head in the direction
of Farcet / Yaxley. It is the 3rd minor turning on the left. (The 2nd
is the exit). We are in the Building opposite the Power League, on the
first floor.
Spinning is a great way to enjoy a challenging cycling session during
cold, dark winter nights. We have 20 bikes. Come along with water to
keep well hydrated and towel to mop your brow!!! If you are new to
spinning it would be great if you could arrive by about 6.20 for the
first session, then we will have plenty of time to set you up on your
bike before the session begins. The bikes all have double sided pedals,
so will take either SDP cleats or training shoes.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Steve Hope.
