The 2016 Calendar is now in the clubhouse hallway. Each discipline must add their 2016 scheduled dates

asap to have time to fix conflicts! Please be flexible and have an alternate date ready

just in case there is a conflict. Remember, some events use the schoolhouse - so the hall is then available for someone else!
