We have planned a trip to Hartlepool on Saturday, February 13. Anyone wishing to go should ring Brian on 07901-717615. Places are limited, so book early. Our next meeting is on Tuesday, January 19 at the Girlington Conservative Club on Thornton Road (8pm). New members are always welcome. Will members who won trophies last year please return them at this meeting.

BRADFORD No1 AA

The open match at Beal this weekend has unfortunately been cancelled due to the severe weather. If members want to go fishing, the River Wharfe at Addingham and Ben Rhydding and the River Calder on the gravel pits and Elland will be worth a try for grayling. Please take extreme care on the river bank. The committee would like to wish all members a happy new year.
