General Comment

We should play more games at smaller grounds

I strongly believe that the youth of the club should take Sunday cricket more seriously and not lead the old gits astray on a Saturday night

The bar should stock Stella in pints

Three foxy ladies to work behind the bar and poles to be installed for special dancing
