FUTURE EVENTS: Does your Club or organisation have events planned for September, October, November and December? If you do have events planned tell me about them as soon as possible, even if all you have at present is the date and the type of event, I can give it a mention here well in advance of the date and people can put the date in their diaries and you can send me the full details nearer the date. It might also help to avoid clashing dates if other organisations knoe you have an event planned for a certain date.
