2022 fixtures – stewards needed.
Here are our fixtures for 2022. A couple not confirmed but Wallingford is despite what it might say. The meets were well attended this year so I have only made a couple of changes. Perhaps more in 2023? I need stewards however for any of these meets to take place. Please let me know which meets you would be prepared to steward. Full instructions will be given if you have not done it before and we do need new blood! Please email me at kevinheaver@yahoo.com or call me on 07974830123.
I need volunteers for the first 3 meets quite urgently please.

We’ve published a date, but need to know whether enough people will be coming to make it worthwhile.

We’ll make a decision on 1st December whether to go ahead.
RCBDA Skittles Evening 29th January 2022
After Christmas we thought we would organise something for the adult members. (I won’t say grown ups, as some of us still have a way to go!)
A Skittles Evening has been booked at Pinewood Cafe, Pinewood Leisure Centre, Old Wokingham Road, Wokingham, RG40 3AQ.
We have exclusive use of the skittle room but share the bar which is in an adjacent room. Plenty of parking but no camping.
Please arrive for 6.30pm, skittles will start at 7pm and food will be served at 8pm.
It will cost £16 per head and this will include skittles and a choice of the following:-
- Meat Lasagne
- Chicken Curry
- Vegetarian Lasagne
Salad and French Bread is included
Numbers are limited to 40 so please get your booking in quickly.
Please confirm your booking to me, kevinheaver@yahoo.com with your choice of meal and pay the DA, account number 57394868, sort code 30 98 97 and show your surname followed by skittles as the reference.
Urgent – stewards needed
It is disappointing, but I have to ask for stewards please.
We need volunteers for the second week at Wellington Country Park and also the last five days at Abingdon. The good news is you will camp for free whilst you are stewarding and you will be giving something back to the DA that you clearly love? Without referees you can’t have football matches and without stewards you can’t have DA meets!
We might be able to muddle through at Welly but Abingdon will need to be cancelled or shortened without volunteers.
If you can help please drop me an email and let me know. You know it makes sense!

Stop Press – restricted river access at Mapledurham
The management of Mapledurham have just informed us that there is filming going on and as such the whole of the river frontage is fenced off and is “out of bounds” to us. However, the launch jetty is still available for boaters but they cannot land anywhere along the river bank which is fenced off for obvious reasons.
You may find this information sheet useful.
