Amendment to date of Opening Evening 2009
Opening evening date has been changed to Friday 17th April.
The original date of 10th April (Good Friday) was not convenient for many members so it has been decided to delay until 17th, as per the Captian's letter.
It is hoped that enough members will attend and make themselves available for a 6 rink Friendly game at Cardiff Sofia Gardens on Saturday 18th. Members who are available for Sat.18th but not on Fri 17th. can ring any selection committee member to register their availability.

Correction to our "Belated Congratulations" item below.
Information recently received by Email tells me that I mistakenly reported that Chris Wright was the youngest winner of the Dinas Powis Club Championship. Not so.. the youngest player to win the Club Championship was Jeff Webley back in 1989 - aged 16. Apologies first of all to Jeff and also to Chris for taking this accolade from him so cruelly.
Incidently Jeff is also the youngest player to win the Welsh Open Singles Championship, which he won in 1992 aged 19 - unless you can tell me different....
