Whilst Covid-19 restrictions persist, our monthly socials continue to operate via Zoom. Trips and outings planned for 2020 were postponed until 2021 and are being kept under review with regard to Covid-19 guidelines. Our annual lunch for 2021 will be arranged as soon as guidelines permit. Lots to look forward to!
