The River Day is on Sat 6th Sept this year and the mayor & councillors say they would be delighted if we could join them again. They expect to arrive at Penton Hook around 1pm on the day and so we would leave SBC just after midday to give plenty of time to get everyone down to the lock.
THERE IS NOW A SIGN-UP SHEET IN THE CLUBHOUSE (NEAR THE CHANGING ROOMS) FOR THOSE FROM SBC WHO WISH TO TAKE PART.
REMEMBER TO WEAR CLUB KIT!
SWPS will also be taking part again.
