Congralutations Morgan!

Morgan Case has been selected as a member of the GC International Performance Development Squad. A valued Academy Coach, Morgan has shown steady GC improvement over the last two seasons and his selection is well deserved. So Morgan becomes the latest SCCC player to wear an England shirt - well done.

Dominic Nunns in the AC World Championship 2020

We would like to congratulate Dominic Nunns on achieving a ranking place for the  AC World Championships which are being held in Melbourne, Australia from 15th to 23rd  February this year. Dom had a brilliant year in 2019  and is currently ranked number 14 in UK and 29 in the World. 

You may not be aware of that the CA gives no financial support for our players and each must fund themselves which  is expensive.

Dom now has a Go Fund Me page and he would much appreciate any donations.

Dom, we wish you all the  best and many of us will follow the event closely!

Christmas Club Lunch 2019

Saturday saw nearly 70 members gather for the annual Christmas Lunch at the Club. As always it was a terrific occasion. These are the people who made it all possible:

By any standards this is a huge operation and the result of hours of time and effort volunteered by many of the club's members.

So thank you all for a lovely occasion - and a Happy Christmas and New Year to all who helped!
