General appeal for......HELP,,..,HELP......
Owing to·a wedding·and to holidays and also to the fact that some of our members on the Social Sub Committee have to work late it is sometimes very hard on the few who are· early to get all the equipment ready for the evening we therefore,ask all members of a Tuesday to please help with both setting up and the putting away of all the chairs, records etc. Miost evenings the required help is more than forthcoming but now and then a few of the I workers are left all alone. So all hands on deck please.Thank you.
N.B. On rambles after the end of October it will be advisable to carry a torch as the clocks will be put back an hour.
