Hello Everyone!We are back in business again today after the short closure for painting and cleaning.Huge thanks again to everyone who helped the first week – I really do appreciate all your work and time given to us!The work spilled over into a second week and I want to give special thanks to Joe Wilson (who probably needs a room named after him for all the hours of work!) and Jim Canning, Gabriel Hall & Nuala Hall who put in a phenomenal amount of hours work. I am so grateful.
Membership Renewal
You can renew your membership now any day for the 2025-2026 year.
It will remain at £50 for this year.
The new prospectus should be finished up this week and will be sent out hopefully on Friday with the email.
Enrolment Day is on Friday 5th September from 10am – 2pm.
PLEASE remember when signing up for membership to make sure that you sign the Gift Aid form, if you are eligible to do so, in order that we can recoup the gift aid back from HMRC – this all helps keep us solvent and allows us to deliver more programmes and events. This will cost you nothing!

Thanks.
