A few words from the Chairman
"Hopefully by now you've seen the exciting news in your last Enewsletter about the membership changes which will provide so many more people with the opportunity to be part of CSSC. With so many events, activities and benefits on offer across our Region and Nationally why wouldn't anyone want to join? As you can see, our?programme of events goes from strength to strength, and shortly we'll be taking this year's group out on the Barbados Challenge. Check out the forthcoming events as there's still plenty of qualifiers you can?have a go at, and you never know it could be you there in 2012. With our new common policy subsidy you'll also get help towards the travel costs to all of our events, so you really can't lose!!"??
