Club Night Follow-Up October 2024

CLUB NIGHT FOLLOW UP – OCTOBER 2024

A quick update on our club night at the Inn on the Lake on Wednesday 2^nd October
It was good to see so many of you. Some were touring the North east, some had covid and some were watching Aston Villa beat Bayern!
It’s proving challenging to find an alternative to the Inn on the Lake for our club nights, so for the time being we’ll continue to meet there, but future meetings will start at 7.30pm (as opposed to 8pm)
RECENT EVENTS
MK Last of the Summer Tour – in aid of Little Lives – was enjoyed by all, although the rain was challenging! Well done to Mike and Terry for arranging such a good event – ending at a vineyard was a master-stroke!
Mid Month Run to the Crooked Billet. The feedback has been very positive, a good meal and good service. Many thanks to Yvonne for arranging the evening.
