RACE NIGHT AT THE CLUBHOUSE
Saturday 8th March, Race Night at the Clubhouse
Race Night was a really big success. Lots of teams turned up and really got into the spirit of racing! It was great fun. Jonny Bryan’s team won, betting lots of money on the last horse to win. The Ladies 1s also did well, wining £33,000 on one race! Thanks to all for making it a really great night. There will definitely be a follow up next year!
VP DAY
VP Day takes place this Saturday 12th April. It is a great day for CHC as it is an opportunity for us to catch up with club players from the past and celebrate the strong history of CHC.

- 12.00pm VP's XI vs. President's XI

Sophie would like to thank everyone who has volunteered to make food for the day.
