That's good. Be interesting to see what games are played, heard regional competitions mentioned.

Wonder what they will do with membership - says someone too lazy to look on their site

'Shielding' is due to end at the same time at which point I'll have been stuck alone in my flat for 137 days (not that I'm counting). I reckon a sparsely populated spot at the Cromwell Road end could be the ideal place for a bit of fresh air and sunshine. ... and beer
