Coffee morning

Saturday December 2nd – we are hosting the coffee morning at the Arts Centre, 10am until 12.15. Please come along and support us as monies raised go towards the club funds. Also, please, we are open to accepting ‘food’ donations to sell; anything edible! Cakes, pastries, biscuits, etc – all welcome! Many thanks.

Garstang Victorian Christmas festival

The event is being held on Monday 4th and Tuesday 5th December, 6pm – 9pm.

Please edit images accordingly, then send them to me, Mike, (I would suggest 6/8 ish as a maximum each), I’ll forward them on to Julie, the organiser. 

I think this will give some publicity to the club, as well as a good opportunity to hone our skills!

Christmas get-together is on Wednesday 13th December. This is getting to the ‘last call’ stage, ‘cos we will need to tell Betty our final numbers soon. So, please speak to Freda/Mike/Lewis if you haven’t booked already!  

The menu will be a Hot Pot or an equivalent vegetarian Hot Pot plus a choice of 3 sweets, all cooked and served, as usual, by the excellent Betty and her team; all for the princely sum of £13 pp.
