A cheque for £250 was presented to Maggie Stewart and Gordon Harper from Cancer Lifeline Charity by Colin (Chairman) and Ruth (outgoing PRO) at our recent AGM. This charity was chosen in memory of our esteemed Club founder Greg Hopkins. Greg received great support from Cancer Lifeline during his brave battle with cancer.

Margaret (Asst Secretary) also had the great privilege of delivering a cheque for £500 to Marie Curie Charity in Belfast. This Charity was chosen in memory of our much missed CAH member Niall Robinson who sadly passed away in April this year.

As a mark of respect to Her Majesty the Queen there will be no club sessions on Monday the 19th.
