Rickmansworth Festival Weekend 2014 – 17th/18th May

Event
A very important promotional event for our Club is coming up soon! Over the weekend of 17th/18th May, The Rickmansworth Festival takes place at the Aquadrome and your club needs your help to promote the club and let festival goers know who we are and what we do. This means we can recruit more members and remain a healthy and active club. The Club needs as many members as possible to help to promote the Club over the two days, as this would mean less work for everyone whilst giving all members a chance to explore the festival themselves. To promote the club, we will have an information stand at the clubhouse and we will be running ‘Come and Try’ sessions on Saturday 17th at 13:00, 15:00 & 16:30 and…
