Many younger players have already shown interest in volunteering, but written nominations are now called for, with nominations to close mid November. All nominations must be emailed to the Secretary Tiff Nicholson email secretary.forbesnetball@gmail.com

Croquet News
It was lovely to see the rain last week and our croquet grounds are looking so much greener. Croquet continues to be a popular sport and a lovely form of gentle exercise whilst testing skills. Once again many thanks to all the members whom arrive very early to set up and to others whom stay back to help pack everything away. It was lovely to see Veva MacCullagh pay a visit during last weeks games and to know her health is improving. A special welcome back to Mal Smith whom has been away travelling for some months in his newly acquired Motor Home.
