MATTERS ARISING: No luck with freezer. Will put ad in messenger to buy or borrow for the season. OK with the school as it will benefit them also. Kate will no longer be doing the U17 rep team due to personal circumstances.

An update was also given on the rule changes implemented by IFNA following the World Cup.
Theory lessons have been held for four local candidates preparing for their Regional Theory exams and the exam was sat last night. Good luck to all those girls for successful results.
