If so, send me an email and I will pass on more details.

Finally Cuala Annual Subscription is payable on 1st January each year . The logic is simple. Unregistered players are illegal, large bills need to be paid for facilities and to the County Board, and most importantly, you or your child are not insured to play or coach unless you are a fully registered member. So please pass your Application forms and subscriptions to your team mentors without delay. Thanks to those who have already registered.
