It is essential that you should try to attend this AGM at our new meeting place. Last year so few turned up that it was difficult to make a quorum and we nearly lost the Whole rambling club. This has been a difficult year for the committee. Please give us your full support and consider carefully who should be on the future committee so that the club can continue to flourish.


THE ANNUAL MASS FOR DECEASED MEMBERS, will take place at St Mary Moorfields at 9.30 am on SUNDAY 7 NOVEMBER 1976.
