Margaret Smith (SUTTON) who have been selected to play for England in the BWIBC International Series in Belfast 17th to 19th June 2018.

 

 

 

Benevolent Fund donations

 

As most of you know, Jill Huggett, our Secretary and Treasurer of the County Benevolent Fund had a nasty accident during the summer months.  Since the fall Jill has not been well and although she had intended to continue as Secretary until the AGM, she has been unable to do so and has therefore relinquished her position.  Jan Pedersen, kindly took over the role as a stop gap measure until a replacement could be found.

 

I am delighted to say that Caroline Duarte of Southey BC has offered to take on the position of County Benevolent Fund Secretary and Treasurer and we are delighted to welcome her in this vital role.  Caroline has taken on these duties with immediate effect but will be elected to the position in the usual way at our AGM in November.  Meantime, until such time as we can get the bank mandates sorted out which, as you will appreciate, can be a somewhat lengthy process, please send all cheque donations to either myself or Jan Pedersen.

 

Any requests for the Christmas gifts should be forwarded to Caroline at carolineduarte48@gmail.com  These can then be picked up at the AGM in November.

 

Many thanks

Sheron Mitchell

SCWBA Secretary
