CSSC London Newsletter

 

banner_london1
First of all, thank you to everyone who gave a positive response to the December e-newsletter and also to those who have contributed to this edition with new ideas and interests.

With the continuing expansion of London events, we wanted to make our programme more accessible to all our London members. By restructuring London into four districts, a greater number of London's 24,000 membership will have greater access to sports and leisure activities. (See below for more details)

As we are always looking for new event ideas, please do not hesitate to contact us with any suggestions that you would like to see included in the events calendar.

To to help us to expand and develop CSSC Sports & Leisure, please continue to promote us within your office and local areas. Moreover, we are always looking for new volunteers and organisers to help us maintain the broad events programme. 

Many Thanks
