RCBDA Skittles Evening 21st January 2023

After Christmas we thought we would organise something for the adult members.  (I won’t say grown ups, as some of us still have a way to go!)
A Skittles Evening has been booked at Pinewood Cafe, Pinewood Leisure Centre, Old Wokingham Road, Wokingham, RG40 3AQ.
We have exclusive use of the skittle room but share the bar which is in an adjacent room. Plenty of parking but no camping.
Please arrive for 6.30pm, skittles will start at 7pm and food will be served at 8pm. Food choices are:-
  • Beef Lasagne
  • Chilli and Rice
  • Vegetarian Lasagne
Salad and French Bread is included
It will cost £16.50 per head and there is a pay bar.
 
If you wish to attend please email ‘treasurer.rcbda@gmail.com’ with your names and food choices by the 13th January.  Kevin our treasurer will reply confirming your booking and provide you with our bank details so that you can pay in advance.

Christmas Party – 10th December

RCBDA invite you to their 2022 Christmas Party on Saturday December 10th at the Cornerstone Community Hall, Norreys Avenue, Wokingham, from 1900 till 2230.

Please bring your own food and drinks. There will be background music with games and a present for the children from Santa Claus. There will also be quizzes and a raffle.

Santa needs to know how many children will be coming so he can organise his elves to bring presents for them. Please let him know by text as soon as possible:- Roy Williams on 07402 173123 will pass the messages on to the North Pole.

IMPORTANT URGENT MESSAGE – Wallingford

Unfortunately I have just tested positive for Covid! Whilst Jackie is still clear it is not fair to expect her to steward on her own. As such there is no steward for the weekend and therefore the ‘DA meet’ must be cancelled! I have however spoken to the site owners and they are prepared to receive all of our members who have booked as ‘direct bookings’ at the same price. So you can all still go, just check in at the reception and pay them. It will not be a DA meet however.
Jackie will try and contact all those that have booked but if you see this message and were going please contact Jackie to save her the trouble.
Sorry that this has happened but as I have said before ’no stewards, no meets’.

2022 fixtures – stewards needed.

Here are our fixtures for 2022. A couple not confirmed but Wallingford is despite what it might say. The meets were well attended this year so I have only made a couple of changes. Perhaps more in 2023? I need stewards however for any of these meets to take place. Please let me know which meets you would be prepared to steward. Full instructions will be given if you have not done it before and we do need new blood! Please email me at kevinheaver@yahoo.com or call me on 07974830123.
I need volunteers for the first 3 meets quite urgently please.
