Can the people that did not manage to help this time leave Nov 1st free
as i expect everybody to help out at the competitions we hold at Cougars.
I get rather sick and tired of people who use the club and then give nothing back
expecially the people who lift and then cut and run - remember other people
have given up their free time to load and run the scoreboard for you when you have a lift.
