Many thanks to the volunteers
The first round of the Nuneaton and Junior District League at Wyndley on Saturday night ran very smoothly thanks to the many new Beeches volunteers. Â Jenny Powell and Alison Nankervis who made their debut as recorders, Vicky Massey, Tom Massey and Kal Gaddu manned the reception desk and refreshments, and Karen Westwood stepped in at the last minute to make her debut as the new Beeches announcer. A strong team of officials Abigail Duce, Joshrun Mann, Mark Blackwell, Elaine Gale, Keith Munday and Brian Shermer ensured the gala ran smoothly. A special thank you to Paul Shipway, and John King for helping out Beeches Officials. Chanel Kang and Sarena Gaddu who kept volunteers topped up with sweets throughout. Our Chaperones Jenny Langston and Paul Bates who supported Dave Marsh (Team Manager) and Gary Tonks (Junior Coach) in helping the children get to their events on time.
