The 7th of August is the day of the Willsher 50 combined with the 32nd Assn. 50 - after the event we are holding an Open Day at the clubhouse.
The Willsher 50
The Wilsher 50 is our club 50. The trophy was presented by the Club as a memorial to the late Frank Willsher, killed in the Thames floods, 6th January 1928. We will need a few marshals for the 50 and it will make the organisers job much easier if you could get in touch email tony to let him know you can help.
