| Special Friday evening session 24th April and 22nd May 2026 |
Have your say for a June special Friday Following the suggestion made at the AGM to have to "bring and share" finger food before the normal session the idea was given a successful trial at the Friday evening session on 24th April 2026 and repeated on May 22nd. Plenty of socialising at the start and some great food. Many thanks to all who made these sessions such a success story. On May 22nd the suggestion was made to make "bring and share" a fixed Friday in the month and a show of hands was for the 1st Friday (3rd July) was agreed. Unfortunately since May 22nd one Friday regular has come forward to say they have another activity on the 1st Friday of the month, another regular has an event on the 3rd Friday and one has something on the 4th Friday!!!! Watch this space for more news!
