Christmas Dinner: make your choices now!

Rebecca writes: It’s less than a month until our Christmas meal – it’s at the Railbridge Bistro on Saturday 30 November at 7pm – so we need to start picking our meal choices.

The menu is reproduced below. It’s £24.95 for three courses, although there is an option for two courses if you prefer for £18.95. Also we need to pay a deposit of  £5 each; you will then pay the rest on the night. You can either leave the money in an envelope addressed to Marion, or transfer to club putting Xmas as the reference and letting Marion know you’ve done that .

Marion has kindly offered to help me get the choices and deposits, so please email her on mgmcdowall@btinternet.com .

Any questions you can still email me at rebeccagatesster@gmail.com .

There’s still time to add your name if you want to come . The list is in the shed or you can let one of us know.
