Be considerate of the opponent when smashing at the front of the court.
It was agreed that we should get more shirts and sweatshirts.
Members of the club should seriously consider volunteering for this role

Andrea would like to warm up with good shuttles on match nights.
Hugh will move the notice board to the other side, so that it is lower.
