The AGM 2012 pack has been sent for preparation this evening; look out for a six attachment e-mail from David Derrick or Adrian Lee very soon.

We will be holding a Curry Night at The Long Hop on Friday 6th April (Good Friday) at 8.00pm in conjunction with The Taste of Spice Curry House, Wiveliscombe.

Menus will be issued later this month and numbers will be asked for from the start of February.

Further details to follow.

The Taunton and District Sunday League will be meeting at WCC at 8.00pm on Thursday 22nd March when its League Committee holds its Spring Meeting for 2012; this is the meeting when all match balls and handbooks for the season ahead are dispensed, so WCC will be both hosting and attending.

Our next social event at The Long Hop is a Poker Night on Saturday 11th February.

Bar opens at 7pm with first deal at 8pm.

There will be 2 tables of 10 players, with each table eliminating down to 5 players.  Remaining 5 from each table then join to play out to a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place – no chip carry over to the final table.

The 5 eliminations from each table will play a ‘plate’ final for a small prize.

There is a maximum of 20 players – entry to the event is by email to me (simon.rudd@sportinwellington.co.uk) only – it is not possible to manage posts on Facebook, messages to Committee Members or turn ups on the night – please pre-book to get involved.

Cost is £10 per person and a buffet is included.

Good luck!

Wishing all at WCC a Happy New Year; our AGM for 2012 takes place at Wellington Arts Centre on Tuesday 24th January starting at 8.00pm.

Paperwork for this meeting will be sent out after the Management Committee meeting on Wednesday 11th January.

We will be reprising the successful 20/20 social event that we hosted this past season when Wellington RFC and Oake Manor Golf Club visit us on Monday 3rd June 2012.

This event takes place over the weekend of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee which runs from 2-5 June inclusive.

Plans are also in hand for WCC to visit WRFC later in the 2011-2012 season for some hospitality and to take in a 1st XV game.

Wednesday 15th February, Wednesday 21st March, Wednesday 11th April, Wednesday 16th May, Wednesday 13th June, Wednesday 18th July, Wednesday 15th August, Wednesday 12th September, Wednesday 3rd October, Wednesday 14th November and Wednesday 5th December.

Above are the dates that are to be used for Management Committee meetings in 2012; all will take place at Wellington Playing Field Pavilion and will start at 7.30pm out of season and at 8.00pm in season.

Ralph’s funeral will take place at Wellington Methodist Church, Waterloo Road, Wellington on Tuesday 20th December at 1.30pm.

Wellington RFC is the venue afterwards.

Terry Jones and his team from Wellington Rugby Club won the WCC Christmas Sports Quiz that was held at The Long Hop bar on the evening of Sunday 11th December; with a score of 97 out of 120 they took the prize by just one point.

Thanks to all thirteen teams who took part, to Simon Rudd for setting the questions and organising the event and Amanda Moysey for doing the bar and to those who prepared a buffet supper.

There are still a few places left for the WCC Christmas Meal which takes place at The Barley Mow on Tuesday 20th December at 8.00pm; three courses for £12.95 – contact David Derrick or Simon Rudd for details by Wednesday 14th December at the very latest.

We are planning to have a Poker Night at The Long Hop in February and a pre season event too, so look out for details of these events.
