NEWSLETTER November 2006

Yet another season has ended and we are thinking (or trying not to think!) about Christmas once again. It has been a good season and our thanks as always to Margaret and her team for the enjoyable social events and excellent lunches and teas. It has been good to welcome new members, and we have entertained many outside groups again this year.

Pegging Out Party

Thank you to all who attended an enjoyable Pegging Out Party, and a big thank you to Ann for all her hard work on our behalf this year. The gentlemen excelled themselves once again and provided us with an excellent tea. Thank you gentlemen for looking after us all so well.

Ann Perry (Chairman) & Ian Clifton  (President)
