Friday - 1st January 2010 - NEW YEAR'S DAY
NO MEETING TONIGHT - We thought we might have been able to organise a meeting for tonight, but since our announcement in the last Newsletter we have learned that there will be hardly any public transport today. Indeed, we understand that only trains will be running. So we thought it might be better just to let you stay at home and nurse your hang-overs after giving 2010 an alcofrolic welcome!
Friday - 8th January
WELCOME TO 2010 TONIGHT - when we will enjoy our mince pies with mulled wine. We usually have these before Christmas, but the way the festive season has fallen this year we thought we would save them for tonight. We look forward to hearing what Santa Claus brought you this year!
