Birthday Dinners: We hear that the July / August ‘babies’ had a lovely evening together, celebrating their birthdays.  A big thank you to Ellen and Graham for hosting.

The next pot luck meal is for our September / October ‘babies.’  We are looking for someone who has a birthday in those months, who would be willing to host.  Thank you for considering this, if you could be in touch with either Kath or Lesley we would be very grateful (the date and time is up to the host).  Thank you very much.
