With the break from Pennant upon us due to the Victorian Open, Warren will be taking the opportunity to do some Minor Maintenance to the greens at Swinburne Avenue.

Over the next few days the team will be completing some minor aeration and scarifying to the greens in line with their normal maintenance. The greens will be slightly slower than normal after the works are complete.

The greens will however be open as per usual during this time.

Given the number of club games currently required to be played, the decision has been made to allow games to be played on Thursday practice nights for the next 3 weeks. The dates that are available include:

• Thursday 15th November
• Thursday 22nd November
• Thursday 29th November

Please use these times to your advantage. Remember to book in your rinks prior to ensure you games to avoid disappointment.

Also a reminder that next Saturday (17/11) and Sunday (18/11) are available for games, even though there is no Pennant on Saturday 17th November due to the Victorian Open. If you want to play on Sunday 18th November, please book your rink in the diary.

Side have now been posted online … we apologies for the delay in posting them this week.
