Hi Folks!

Just a reminder that Floodlight Cards are available from Hewetts Newsagent in Monkstown Village / Mc Cormack's Pub in Mounttown and here in the office. We really appreciate Hewetts & Mc Cormacks keeping a stock of cards for us. I hope you're adjusting to the way of entering the club to insert the floodlight card...by the way the combination number for the door is 531.
