JIGSAWS
At our February lunch we had a table of jigsaws supplied by Elizabeth Currie. It would appear by the interest of members it was a good idea. The money taken on the day was donated to Bluebell Wood. We will run with it for three months and then members can decide if we should continue. Elizabeth has found a jigsaw piece at home, it maybe from the Mona Lisa MOSAIC jigsaw and she will bring it along to our March lunch. If you have any JIGSAWS you would like to donate, just bring them along to the next lunch meeting.
CAR PARKING
A number of spaces are available for members at our lunches. These spaces are marked with cones, and are available on a first come first park basis
