FISH AND CHIP SUPPER & CURRY NIGHT
The Group’s new social initiatives have proved far more popular than the Committee envisaged.
As a result, the number of people booked for the Quiz and Fish & Chip Supper on Friday 7th February has now reached the total we can accommodate and therefore the event is fully booked. For those who have already booked this is also a reminder that cold drinks (and glasses) should be brought. Coffees and teas will be provided.
For the Curry Night Special on Wednesday 19th March, there are only 9 spaces available.
