Briefly, it's subscription renewal time again; the Spring weekend outing is to Dieppe (26-28th April); some more dates for your diaries and a summary of the Rules changes that came into force on the 1st January 2019.

The Ryder Cup will be shown on the big screen on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
For eats, there'll be the usual bar food on Friday, Saturday's Croissants and a main at lunchtime, and on Sunday it's Brunch at lunchtime. For Sunday evening, perhaps those wanting to eat after the Ryder Cup is over (7 pm?) could let the bar staff know in good time so something could be prepared.
