Our venue is now opening this week to members, for those unaware it is a Conservative Club, and the gaming club have not yet got a date to go back but this will be discussed at the next committee meeting. I will probably be able to confirm nearer the end of August if a November event can go ahead b...

Assuming that's right, a few questions: Does the commander count towards an...
