Week 14 January 2025

Message from Bethan Jones

Happy New Year. After a week of snowy and frosty weather which caused a few thigs to be cancelled, we can now get going with our activities.

I would like to remind you that the branch has a team selection policy. Priority will be given to members who have fulfilled these criteria.

This applies to WL teams, Area competition teams, etc.

There are plenty of rallies and training sessions organised  for you to choose from. Please ensure that you contact the organiser prior to booking in on entry master. Payment needs to be made as soon as you have heard that you have a space. Payment secures your place on rally, training etc. Please book in as soon as you can as it makes life easier for our volunteers that need to organise groups, etc.

What’s on this month

Use the calendar on the website to see what’s on and book.
