New Games Calendar
Note from our Membership Secretary, Chuck Jamison
I have established a Google calendar for the games where Clan Gunn will be hosting a tent. (link below):
http://www.2jamisons.com/gunn.html
(It's the second box in the second row.)
I'm counting on you to help by letting me know which games you are planning to attend. It helps me if you include a website for the games (if they have one), and other useful information for people who want to attend.
Please also check and provide the latest update as far as covid restrictions and how they may affect times, dates, etc.
Also let me know if you want an updated roster for your branch.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Cheers!
