Last season's charity 20/20 between Mumbles CC and The Ospreys attracted a crowd of more than 1,000 to Marespool and raised £1,500 for LATCH, the Welsh-based Children's Cancer Charity. Shown above are Ospreys Coach Sean Holley and player Marty Holah with John and Peter Blyth presenting the cheque to LATCH. Details of the 2010 rematch below.

Attendance at indoor nets on Sundays at the Bishopston Sports Centre is growing as Spring slowly approaches. And it's great to see Simon 'Flymo' Tuckett back in action! Please make every effort to attend until outdoor nets begin at Marespool in April.

The Club is starting a new MEMBERS DISCOUNT scheme for 2010. Paid-up Club Members will each receive a swipe card for the new, electronic till. This will automatically give MCC Members, Sponsors and Advertisors an extra discount on all alcoholic drinks. So we bid a 'fond' farewell to the metal tray and assorted tea towels.
