Hi everyone,
This year’s Xmas Meal and AGM will be held at the Royal Oak, Wootton Rivers, Marlborough,SN8 4NQ on Sunday 1st December.
The plan is to meet at the pub to start our walk at 0900hrs, led by John Walker. There is additional parking at the village hall just a few yards further on from the pub. We will return to the pub by 1230ish and, after a quick change and the opportunity to buy a drink, the meal will be served at 1330hrs. We have used this venue on several occasions and the food is excellent.
The meal costs £25 per head, however, all members who have contributed either a walk or marshaled at a checkpoint will receive a subsidy towards their meal.
All your menu choices will need to be sent to Lesley Bellis, at lesley.bellis842@btinternet.com by 1st November. Please choose from the following:
