Jim Gale is in hospital at the moment but has said he'll be happy to get in touch with you when he's home again, hopefully next week.

Lee, you have pm.

The draft Club Charter doesn't come up on the search engine. As it is to be discussed at the NC on 24th Sept, can it be posted somewhere on this site so Strut members have access to it and can then advise their NC reps on how to vote?
