To put the record straight, reports that members of the now defunct CISWO BC are amalgamating with Leslie BC are untrue.

Representatives from CISWO and CISWO BC were invited to a meeting with the committee of Leslie BC last week. The members of Leslie BC were adamant that ex CISWO members would be invited as individuals to join the club but Leslie could not accommodate 32 new members en masse still wishing to play as a club within a club.

CISWO BC took the decision not to take up Leslie’s offer and to date only two members have joined individually.
