Club president Paul Stanton said, “Whilst the Club is a forward looking organisation with its sights set firmly on the future, we take this time to look back, pause, reflect and give thanks for those who served and died for their country and colleagues so that we may live in peace and pursue our sport with happiness and joy.
“We were also pleased to have members of the public join our act of remembrance and be part of our community.”
