We also have some exciting news about a meal out at The March Hare on 19th October - for £22 you can get a 2 course meal and 2 drinks (bottled lager, bottle of wine between 2, 2 bottles of cider) OR for £27 you can have a 2 course meal plus a bottomless glass of prosecco (this is over a 2 hour period) I have included a link to the menu in the comments. Margaret is checking out if we need to pay a deposit but she will be taking names on Saturday night so check your diaries! I am pretty sure we can drink quite a lot of prosecco over a 2 hour period! I have created an event on the social events group

LOADS Of exciting news and events to fill you in on on Saturday and just a heads up the November meeting (not this month but NEXT months meeting) will start at 4:30pm so doors open at 4:15pm to be finished in plenty of time for bonfire celebrations!

Finally please remember we are taking names of people who are interested in being on the committee for 2019 so please contact us if you would like more information before Saturday or let us know on Saturday night so we can create a ballot paper for our Annual Meeting in November. We have 9 committee places and currently all 9 slots are filled so if you wanted to be on the committee the vote would go to the members at the November Annual Meeting.

Sorry for the long post!

See you Saturday x
