Hello everyone! The league season concluded yesterday however, we still have one more Saturday left as the return of our club day will be next Saturday! Firstly, I'd like to extend the biggest thank you to the "Perfect" team of Henna Haria, Roshan Patel, Viraj Patel, Devesh Kerai, and everyone else involved in ensuring Curry-Oke last night was another massive hit. "All of me loves all of you" because without you guys, everybody wouldn't have had so much fun and our club wouldn't be "the castle on the hill" that it is, because there is genuinely no club like Kenton and last night proved it.

Rope
Changing room
Bottom hut
