“Christmas” Lunch Postponed

Due to the very poor weather forecast for this Friday morning (80mph winds!!) the committee has decided it would be wiser and safer to postpone our “Christmas Lunch” to a later date.

We will discuss it at the next committee meeting at the beginning of February and will let everyone know of the new date.

Obviously if the new date does not work for anyone who has already paid you will receive a full refund and conversely those unable to attend this week may well be able to attend on the new date.

Full details of the rearranged lunch will be circulated to everyone in due course. 

Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause but….you can’t mess with the weather!
