Those members who are interested in keeping their numbers for 2018, are requested to mail Melinda Smal at melinda.smal@gmail.com before the END OF DECEMBER 2017.
There is no guarantee that we will get the same license numbers for 2018 as requested, especially for members who joined late in the year, as numbers issued by AGN later in the year might be additional numbers and do not fall within the numbers allocated for Magnolia. This will specifically pertain to numbers consisting of 5 digits.

The professional coaching sessions will be paid for by the club, so it will be free of charge to our members.
When: Wednesdays
Where: Harlequins Cricket Field (Where the Sunrise monster race finishes)
Time: 16:30/17:00/17:30 ( You can slot in with any group)
