The Spring Leagues have started. One point raised at the A.G.M. related to the Weekend League when one lady asked if it was possible to introduce a Team Event like the men do or maybe a Secret Buddy. The Ladies Committee agreed to put this on hold for the moment and will ask players in the Spring League for feedback on the matter before the Winter Leagues begin.
