Christmas Party 16th Dec

We would like to cordially invite you all to our Christmas Party on Thursday, 16th of December at 7pm.

Due to COVID, we are going to take a different approach this year: we are going to meet outdoors by the monkey puzzle tree at 7pm to sing a few carols. We are going to have hot mulled wine and mince pies for everybody, but they are going to be handed out one-by-one (no buffet this year). The event will be much shorter than in previous year.

Summer party?

Unfortunately, we need to postpone our summer party (previously advertised for the 24th of July).
Our caterer pulled out due to staff being affected by COVID, and two of our members are currently isolating, too, making it difficult to find alternatives.

We are looking to re-arrange a later date.
