Did the sign on the green inviting everyone to the Table Tennis or Darts put you off ?

In some ways the title ‘club’ seems far too grand for the collection of individuals who get together from time to time in order to play a game or two.

Although we call ourselves a club, all members of the village are members of the club and we hope to see you at any event we organise. Our two major events being the Village Sports day on the last Sunday of June each year and the Village Rounders competition which is held on the first Sunday in September. This year Sports Day is on 30^th June and rounders on 3^rd September.

Other events are organised if someone asks why don’t we have a game of ……… ? and one of us wants to organise it. This may sound very ad hoc, it is and this is Reach and that is the way we have muddled through for a long time. Normally it works.

Unfortunately our last two events were very poorly attended. The darts only attracted two people who do not play in one of the pub’s two dart teams and was moved to the pub from the Village Hall.

Should we continue to arrange events? Is anyone else interested in taking over from us?

I know not everyone will be interested in everything, but some interest in some of the events would be appreciated.
