Fund Raising at Asda Bodmin this coming Saturday

Many thanks for the volunteers who have signed up for selling raffle tickets at Asda on Saturday 30th June. We still need 3 or 4 more volunteers in the 2pm-4pm slot, so if you are free to sell raffle tickets and raise funds for the club (it helps keep the subscriptions down), please sign up on the noticeboard at the leisure centre or drop me a line on jerweatherhead@hotmail.com - thanks.
