Christmas 2019

At our Committee meeting last week we discussed whether a carol concert would be held this year. Last year David Kearney very kindly led on this and we all enjoyed a very successful and happy morning. No one on Committee has the capacity to organise a concert this year and we are again seeking a volunteer or volunteers to lead on arranging a concert. If you are willing to take this forward, working with other volunteers, can you let myself or another Committee member know by 30th September – I can share with any volunteer(s) what has happened previously which I’m sure will be very helpful. If no volunteer/s are forthcoming, a coffee and mince pie event would be held on Tuesday 10th December which will be final meeting of 2019.
