NEWSLETTER JULY 2025

Whatever has happened to our weather? It has been alternating between heatwaves and very heavy rain which cut short our match against Groombridge last Sunday. The green looked more like a lake, but luckily, thanks to investment in good drainage and helped by Tony and Andrew immediately afterwards, the green was playable the next day
