Southend win the Roger Foreman Shield ! A close fought match was eventually won 8.5 to 7.5 despite the huge handicap difference between the teams. Capt Chris and Vice Mick also won their individual match against Belfairs Capt & Vice to win the Woodall Tall Shield. That’s a clean sweep for Chris this year, winning both the Foreman matches and the Woodall. Well done and thank you to all those that took part these matches.

Charity Quiz night, Leigh Constitutional Club
Chris would like to thank all those that attended the quiz last Thursday as a fundraiser for Scotties Little Soldiers. An amazing sum of just over £800.00 was raised ! The charity are blown away by the generosity shown by members, friends and family throughout the year and are very grateful.

Dinner Dance this Friday 8/11/24
For all of those attending on Friday the bar at the Chalkwell Park Rooms will be open from 6 pm. The Captain requests that you are there in plenty of time to be seated for dinner at 7.30pm.
