General notes

All members, friends and prospective members are invited onto any of the events. They can be booked via

• the website

• or by sending Gill a WhatsApp message on 07905922905

Once you have booked an event, if you need to cancel or change anything, please let Gill know via WhatsApp. If you get a thumbs up to your message, it means I have seen it.

When you have booked on an event via the website, you will get an email to confirm your booking. Save this email as it contains all the trip details, if you don’t receive an email, please contact Gill to confirm. Thank you.

For all events that state “please book your own ticket”, you need to RSVP to the event on the website as well as booking your own ticket so Gill knows you are going. This helps arrange car shares and ensure the outing can start on time.

Events for 2025 are being put on the website as they are booked. Some may be popular and will sell out due to limited number of places available, so keep an eye on the website. As the saying goes, if you snooze, you lose!

If there are any other events you wish to organise yourselves, Gill will help you put them on the website.

If you have any questions, please talk to Gill or WhatsApp Gill on 07905922905

Please join the Social Events WhatsApp group to keep up to date with events between meetings. To join, please give your mobile number to Gill.
