The Autumn programme has come around yet again, and what a busy year it seems to

have been so far.

 

Our last Christmas Party and Lunch were very successful at our venue of the Connaught

Hotel and we will  be going again this coming Christmas for our normal get together. We

had a good number last year and I am  hoping that we will exceed our previous record,

re attendance, as this time the date has been brought forward, away from Christmas

week, when members tell me, that they are extremely busy trying to catch up with all

that needs to be done before the day of celebration.

 

This time the hotel has asked us to choose what we eat before  the day and so I have given

the menu for you to complete when you apply for tickets. Hopefully doing things this way

will save postage but of course will be more work for me but that is par for the course.

The entertainment has been secured and promises to be very good again.

 

Like previously,  you can bring along friends but to help with our overhead costs, we need

to charge an extra £1.00 for them.

 

Our Soup and Sandwich Meetings have again been very popular, and our numbers

have increased which is very good. I have a small lea-way before the venue gets too small

for our functions, but I am sure that the hotel can cope  for the moment. Again,

like in previous years a very varied and interesting programme has been arranged.

 

During this coming season can everyone please bring a new face to our meetings

and functions which hopefully will increase our membership and we could

possibly discover someone who will help with the trips etc.  (Many years ago, this

is how I came to be involved as Keith our then organiser  invited me to a trip)

 

We are very highly thought of as a Society and have a very high credit rating

in our town so let us make ourselves even bigger and stronger.
