30th October 2008 - The club is proud to announce its second 'In the Zone' valentine's day gala. Such was the success of this gala last year, the decided to have another! Gala details and entry forms can be downloaded from the gala webpage.

23rd October 2008 - After a look around the ASA website, I noticed that the fees for 2009 would be going up to: Category 1 - £6.75, Category 2 - £22.00! and Category 3 £4.00. This increase apparantly, is to fund the planned ASA office re-location to Loughborough University. The ASA have added 16%/17% to the fees. My personal views are that this is very steep increase, and personally feel that it is too much in one year.
