Club social evening, Wednesday 6th November
18:30 – 20:00
Dear All
You are warmly invited to the first of our get-together evenings to be held on November 6th at the World's End which, in case you don't know it, can be found about halfway between Taunton and Wellington on the A38. We have reserved the smaller room at the front of the building.
There will be no agenda and no meeting, just a chance to meet for a drink and a chat and maybe catch up with club members that you haven't seen for a while.
We hope to hold similar events, at different venues in and around Taunton on the first Wednesday of each alternate month,so the next one will be in January.
If you would like to eat first, please make a booking directly with the pub, either by phoning 01823 462928 or by visiting their website at worldsend.taunton@hall-woodhouse.co.uk
The pub has asked me to let you know that their menu will be changing this coming Wednesday, October 16th, so you may want to wait till after that to book.
Please let us know whether you are able to make it via the button at the bottom of this page.
With all best wishes
Helen
