Hi All,

As you are no doubt aware, we are now hurtling towards the seasonal period and before we know it, 2018 will be upon us. Traditionally, the South Pennine group has celebrated the New Year with a walk from Greenfield station and finishing with social meal and drinks.

This year, we will be moving back to the Cross Keys at Saddleworth. I will want to book either the room..or a corner table before the end of October. Therefore if anyone wants to join us for a post walk meal and drinks on Saturday 6^th Jan 2018, can they mail me at glenn.costin@bt.com before the end of October?  Please be aware, the limit will be 20 diners.

Menu:-
