I hope to see you all there then.
If I get it written in time I’ll email all members with an email address, a copy of the Chairman’s Report. Now that’s something for you to look forward to. I have already sent out the accounts this way. If you have not received them or had a problem opening the file don’t worry because there will be a hard copy available for everyone at the AGM.
Thursday April 6 has been chosen as the evening of the Village Hall Quiz. The History Society usually finds plenty of quizzical member to take part. I hope Les Hawkins will organise the teams again but I haven’t asked him yet !
