28th March 2001

Just a reminder (or notice) that we will be starting a training session tonight. The emphasis for the training tonight will be on developing basic skills, basic tactics, and understanding the rules a little better. It will be fun - we are not intending it to be boring, or too technical, and I think last year when we started to do this, the vast majority of people found it both fun and useful. I think you only have to see the result of us winning the IV 2 weekends ago to realise how much we have improved as players and as a team.

There will still be games afterward, as per normal. The training session will probably run for about 1 hour. Starting time will be as per normal - 7pm.

Monday nights will continue to have a social emphasis (but of course Wed night will be social as well)

Hope to see you all there!

regards
Andrew (Pennoes)

Recently, we have finished games with less discs than we had at the beginning of the night. Whilst we allow club members to borrow discs, we ask that people arrange this via one of the club executives (Johno, Sturt, Pennoes, James, or myself), so we know where all of our discs are.

If anyone has borrowed a disc, can you please bring it back tonight.

Andrew.
