Club Photo shoot.

Sunday 2nd November.

Sue Greatham is setting up a photo studio to take pictures of the children in their kit. Also an opportunity for family shots as well. It’s so close to Christmas and pictures make a great gift.
There is no charge for taking the photographs and Sue is happy to take pics of the children alone, siblings or the entire family if you bring them all along.
The pictures will then be posted on a secure website and you will be sent a link and a password. If you like any of the pics you can order them online. The club would, with your permission, like to use some of the pictures for the website and leaflets.
If you have any questions or queries please do not hesitate to contact Sue on 0790 5139 007 or email Sue at contact@suegreetham-photography.com.

Ten Pin Bowling afternoon.

Jessica Kellow from Biggin Hill decided to spend the £300 Jack Petchey award she won on this event. It was really nice to have a competition against Biggin Hill, where, just for once, we were throwing Balls, rather than Judoka! By all accounts a great afternoon. Top score of the day was Laurie from Biggin Hill, with a 147. The next 6 top scores all went to Green Dragon.
Nathan and Savvas from Green Dragon having both their two scores in the next top six scores winning the team event.
The following link should take you to a new Facebook account setup to store pictures of our events.
