A plea from a 'new kid on the block'

Jack Pattenden is hoping to set up a new club at Craig y Don, Llandudno by the middle of this summer.
However they are desparate for playing equipment - balls, mallets, hoops etc to service four short lawns.
Would any one out there have any old gear they would like to dispose of - even a mower would not go amiss!
If anyone can help please email Jack at: (jack@pattenden9636.freeserve.co.uk)
