Mental Health Champions

Club News
Around this time last year you may recall we asked if any members would be interested in becoming a SSAC mental health champion. Whilst some members did come forward due to delays in the EA process this didn't progress any further. As a club we are keen to promote this EA initiative and increase our number of Mental Health Champions, so if anyone is interested (you don't need to have come forward previously) we plan to have an informal discussion in the next couple of tea nights (dates to be confirmed). If you were interested last year can you let me know if this is still the case please! Please see link for more information or please speak to myself or Paul Johnson our current Mental Health Champion. Mental Health…

Tonight’s 19/01/23 sessions cancelled

Club News
Tonight’s official club sessions are cancelled. There is a weather warning for ice from 5pm. Paths in places around the club are wet and the concern is that these will turn to ice before sessions start. Added to the mix is that the ‘feels like’ temperatures will be hovering around zero too. Members safety is as always our priority so I’m sure you all understand the reasoning behind the decision. Those who planned to manually vote for their member of the year tonight please use the email system mentioned in earlier posts. The deadline remains 8pm tonight. Those with bottle donations for the birthday party raffle we will collect them on Tuesday. Thanks Andy J
