SOUTHWARK CLERGY GOLFING SOCIETY

Many of you will know that on celebrating my 40 years in the Ministry on September 28th [service at St Andrew's at 3pm, if you'd like to come], we shall be moving down to Seaford in the Diocese of Chichester. I shall therefore be unable to continue this job of Secretary to the Southwark Clergy Golfing Society, having completed only 35 years. We need a volunteer to take over from me this Autumn, please volunteer, as it would be a shame if the Society were to disappear after 80 years of existence.

YOUR INVITATION FOR 2003

ALSO SERVING CHICHESTER, PORTSMOUTH AND WINCHESTER DIOCESES

I'm sorry to say that our games and matches have diminished drastically, and though I have tried to some extent, I am unable at this stage to organise more. It is getting rather urgent that you reply to this invitation so that I can tell Tandridge the numbers for april 7th.

Monday April 7th MATCH against Tandridge club, near Oxted. 12 players needed, no cost.*

Guildford shield, 29th September

FOR A MATCH, if you say you would like to play, I shall let you know whether there is a place for you. If it were to happen that you need to cancel, please let me know at once, so I can find another player.

FOR A GAME, if you say you would like to play, I shall expect you to turn up. If you fail to do so, it always causes us embarrassment, and sometimes costs us money.

I ask you for a contribution of £1 per game or match you are playing in to cover my costs of postage, telephone, fax, e-mail. I am very happy to receive it in stamps if you feel it is appropriate.
