At last, a blog post you’ll want to read. Thanks to the efforts of our resident foodie Annabel Simms we’re returning to Le Grande Bleu for this year’s Christmas dinner. She’s negotiated a terrific 35€ menu details of which will be going round in a grapevine very shortly.

Dinner is at 8pm on Friday 11 December preceded by a branch meeting at 6.30pm so put it in your diary and sign up with Annabel as soon as you can. We also need volunteeers: two to collect the money plus acts, a compere and an organiser for the cabaret if we’re to have one. I don’t want to organise the cabaret this year as being chair takes up enough time - plus I’m running out of jokes.

Please let me know if you’d like to volunteer for anything. New faces very, very warmly welcomed.
