Last Saturday's Section Competition was a Patsome. The Joneses came out top (41 points) followed closely by Sue Hall and John McCallum and the Delacroix, both teams on 39 with Sue and John with a better back 9.
Playing Kerala Tuskers for the second game of the season last Sunday, we lost 3-0. It was an enjoyable game and we played better than against FIFFA the week before. There's no game this Sunday because of the school holidays.
Any member wishing to play football is welcome; please write to . Kick-off at 10:30 every Sunday of the season (except in the middle of school holidays or during long week-ends)
And the pitch is wonderful!
Last Sunday a Terror Tournament to celebrate the start of the holidays and Halloween and was greatly enjoyed by all the participants. Organised by our coach, Carole Dacheux and her team, the tournament attracted over 60 players of diverse abilities, men, women, beginners, seasoned players, kids, teenagers, adults and families all organised into about 50 doubles teams. Read on to see some photos.
From this Saturday 17 October, it will be possible to use the Gym, but only if you are wearing a mask. Only two people will be allowed in the Gym Room at a time and they must clean all the equipment after use with the spray provided.
There is a sign-up sheet so we can trace gym users in case of a problem.

Unfortunately, no tournaments or workshops are in view, but that doesn't stop you from playing your friendly games of bridge, provided, of course, that you respect the health guidelines - see this article.
We now have three 110x110cm boards to be used to enlarge the bridge tables (with a mat underneath and another one on top) to increase the separation between players. A maximum of 2 tables should be used in the Bridge Room, but there's usually plenty of space in the main room and the bigger black tables can be used too.
It is time to renew your FFB licences - for the same amount as last year, i.e. €56 (cheque made out to the SAC Bridge Section). The Committee and the Federation need the income in order to keep functioning and if you are playing in a club or on Funbridge or BBO, you will need to have a valid licence (preferably before 1 November). A renewal form is attached to the main article but only needs filling out if your personal details have changed.
Now, every Saturday and Sunday, from 2 to 4 pm Sporting and Artistic Activities for children with SSWP on-demand at the Club. (Read on to see brochure)
Price: 20€ per activity: Register on-site with the teacher.
Summaries of the Cricket Section Accounts for the years 2015 (including the turnaround plan), 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 are attached to the main article.
