Forthcoming Events - 2012 |
| We had some great events last year including Margaret’s Drive at the end of the season which again enjoyed great weather
together with the wonderful Surrey countryside and Margaret’s delicious spread upon our return. |
|
Our end of year Social and Annual Meeting was very well attended and the Quiz and Fish & Chip Supper went down well.
Congratulations to the winning team ‘Driving Force’ with the ‘Calendar Mob’ coming in a close second. Many thanks to Cherry Chidwick for organising the raffle.
