Nagging! Isn’t that something all us fellows are used to - well after being ‘got at’ by my good lady and the editor to get this article written here goes.
        I am taking a different angle this time as usually the article is devoted mainly to the football club, but there is the Recreation Club itself which we have to consider. The home not only to the football, cricket and bowls clubs, but also darts, pool and domino teams and all these activities and sections require up to date facilities.
Over the past few years the Recreation Club has made steady progress and as you may have read in my previous dribbles, it is not only the football club who are required to improve their facilities. The Club also cannot ‘stand still’ and it must continue to improve its facilities, some of them which are essential, some desirable. It must also assist the other clubs with their requirements, whether it be bigger changing rooms, female changing rooms, or just any kind of changing room, the Club is there to assist where it can.
        The building itself also needs to be properly maintained, so with all this in mind, we are carrying out a feasibility study to see that the building and its facilities can match up to what is required in these times, for all the clubs and relative sections.
        We must also remember, that besides providing a base for all these activities, the Club lends itself to many social functions, such as special birthdays, anniversaries even the occasional wedding party.
I will continue to keep you informed of any progress we make as we go on.

        Happy Christmas and Prosperous New Year to everybody especially in these more difficult times and remember it is the thought that counts.
