We would suggest car sharing as previously and we will set up a WhatsApp group for this event. Please let Rachel, Debbie or me know if you would like to attend and if you would like a lift.
Please note, this field trip will be instead of the support group which is normally run on the third Thursday of the month, but our backup plan, in case of bad weather on the night, will be to utilise the club house.
We hope to find somewhere to pop into afterwards for a hot beverage, or something stronger for those not driving, and a bit of a natter. We hope you will be able to come along.
