update

Further to my email on Wednesday evening with the Newport District Update for 1^st – 31^st October and 1^st – 17^th November, an eagle-eyed GSL has spotted a mistake with the entry on Tuesday 6th October - District Team meeting.

This meeting is to be held at the Skip Jennings Hall NOT the Newport Civic Centre as stated. There will also be a change to the normal format of this District Team meeting as there will be a presentation of the Newport District Long Term plans from the DC, Steve Crowley and myself, the Deputy DC to all interested parties starting at 7.30 pm. EVERYONE IS INVITED.

Hope to see you there
