BREAKING OUR 3-WEEKLY PATTERN(!), we have a Pre-Christmas Social Group.

It's not Christmassy, per se(.... Scrooge-like Organiser:P) but if you want to bring the odd bit of tinsel/glitter, that is fab:)

Usual food and drinks menu; if you want Christmas food, please contact venue-directly- to see if available. Thanks:)
