SECRETARY / TREASURER
Due to the health problems currently being suffered by David Buckett, our Secretary/ Treasurer he has decided in the best interests of the SDRA that he hands over the post of Secretary until such time that he feels fit enough to return. With this in mind it was agreed at the October meeting that Steve Davies will take over as Secretary of SDRA until further notice. All correspondence relating to SDRA matters should now be sent to STEVE DAVIES 67 MEADOW LANE,NEWHALL,SWADLINCOTE,DERBYSHIRE, DE11 0UW. Telephone 01283 550914 or Email Sda7471985@aol.com Many people will know that I am a shift worker so I would ask for a little consideration regarding the times of telephone calls as an early morning call when on nights does not go down too well!
Bob MCcLumpha will be carrying a small float for any essential purchases. On behalf of the membership I would like to wish David a rapid return to full fitness.

DECEMBER MEETING

Due to Christmas Dinners being served in our normal meeting room it was decided to bring the December meeting forward by one week to Monday 2nd December at 7.30pm. This will allow us to enjoy our traditional December Sports Quiz chaired by Jeff Jackson and have a buffet afterwards. All colleagues are welcome to attend.
SDRA NEW YEAR DINNER
As an Association we have booked the Dining Room at our head quarters Woodville New Inn to hold our AFTER CHRISTMAS DINNER. This will be held on Saturday 18th January at 7.30pm for an 8pm start. We need 20 people to make the evening a viable proposition Non - attenders last year left numbers somewhat diminished so this year the meals must be paid for in advance of the night and no refunds will be given. The few that did attend last year had an enjoyable evening and almost everyone took home a raffle prize! Further details will be available at the November and December meetings or ring Steve Davies direct. As always all Referees and friends/ partners are welcome.
