SEPTEMBER MEETING CHANGE

 FINAL REMINDER EVERYONE

 

THURSDAY 26TH SEPTEMBER MEETING

 

At this month’s Thursday meeting we will welcome back again after a long absence the Parky brain oa the Borders quiz, so get those thinking hats on. The quiz will be followed by a blether and a cuppa tea/coffee. It will be good to catch up with everyone and see whit we’ve been up to o’er the summer.

So that’s Thursday 26th September in the chaplaincy at the BGH 2 – 4

                                  

NORTH BERWICK

 

Well didn’t we have a lovely time the day we went to North Berwick! The weather was generous to us this year with the rain staying away for most of the day.

 

It stayed dry long enough for the putting competition and we can reveal that Tony was ousted from his champion spot. Full details of the Parky open in next month’s newsletter.

THURSDAY 26TH SEPTEMBER 2-4 THAT’S THURSDAY 26TH SEPTEMBER 2-4

 

Due to unforeseen circumstances we have had to change this month’s meeting from the last Monday of the month to the last Thursday of the month. In the 13 years the group has been together this is the first time we have had to change the day of the meeting so apologies for that, after September we will go back to the last Monday of the month again which will be Monday 28th October. So finally many apologies, but this is up to date information
