We had about 25 members and friends attend in their whites hoping to get a bat and bowl, and some members showed up to watch.

We had 15attend on April & 18 members and their partners attended in September .Again these nights were supported by the same members on a monthly basis, who regularly attended Sunday Night Feasts over the years.
