Events - 2020
​
This is the third version of the Events page! We started out with a full programme but the current health situation has changed our plans.
Details of all our events for the year were sent out to interested members in early March. Our first one – lunch at the Colne Bistro was scheduled for 2nd April. That has now, of course, been postponed. I have decided to list the other events as originally planned, just in case the situation improves rapidly, but I doubt the first two, in May and June, will go ahead. On a positive note, we can look forward to the Garden Party in the open air which we hope, by that time, will be acceptable.
​
To book any of these events, please go to the What's On page.
