We have now taken a good number of bookings for places on the SOA’s Activity Weekend for Volunteers, to be run at Glenmore Lodge from the evening of Friday 27th September to late afternoon on Sunday 29th. The purpose of this weekend is to reward volunteers for their hard work in support of our sport and to provide an opportunity to develop further in a sociable atmosphere. Clubs that do not yet have any places booked for their members are being contacted, and we urge you to take the places that have been held for you.
