POSTPONED Sports Persons’ Night

After careful consideration and dialogue with both speakers we have decided to postpone the Sports Persons’ Night to be rescheduled for some Friday night in April/May. We would ask that anyone who has bought tickets keeps a hold of them just now and that if the new date doesn’t suit we will refund them at this time. Apologies for this which is outwith our control!
