Archery and Crossbow over the Christmas period
As the sports hall at The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Centre will not be available on a Thursday now until 9th January 2020 there will be no Archery or Crossbow until then. RSDA's Saturday morning activities will not be affected and will run throughout the Christmas period. |
Trampolining 14th December
 Both trampolines will be used from 10.30am to 11.30am This time has been chosen to make easier for those who want to have a swim first. Participants are advised to wear either tracksuit bottoms or shorts rather than jeans and to remove shoes to avoid damage to the trampolines. They should wear socks to prevent injury to feet. They should also avoid jewellery and have any long hair tied back to prevent injury. For insurance purposes we now keep a register of those taking part. Please ensure that your name is on the register before starting. The dates currently agreed for our trampoline sessions are: 14th December 2019 18th January 2020 |
No Archery or Crossbow on 19th December
There will be no archery or crossbow on the above date as workmen will be replacing the lighting in the hall at The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Centre with modern LED units. It is thought that the work will be completed before our Saturday session, but we will be kept posted. |
Christmas Cards
The final collection for the Scout Post this year is Thursday 19th December. This means that if you want RSDA to forward any cards that you bring in for other members the last date that you can do this will be Saturday 14th December. Any cards brought in after that date and not collected will have to be disposed of. This service is only for cards between our members. The Christmas Greetings in the Newsletter will not be available this year, so you will have to get personal about it. |
Annual General Meeting
Our Annual General Meeting for the year 2019 will be held at: On Saturday 7th March 2020 at 10:30am. Only those who are paid-up members by 15th February will be entitled to vote. Light refreshments will be available on arrival. |
The Clem Griffiths Championship
Following the the reintroduction of The Club Championship this year we have now decided to bring back the Clem Griffiths Championship. This championship originally started in 2011 in memory of Clem Griffiths, who was our chairman for a period of 16 years until his tragic death in 2010. The idea of the championship is to encourage newer members to try different sports and have a go at competitions. It is only open to members who have joined in the last 5 years. The rules are attached. |
