Just a line to let you know , we may be in for a bitter sweet visit to Saltaire. David Hockney has passed away. He has left us a great legacy, which we are fortunate to be visiting.
N.B those who haven’t yet decided, we need the menus choices ASAP
I’m sure Saltaire will be even busier for the next few months now.
P.S Coach is full, please add names if you want to be on reserve list.

Can members visit the AFF desk asap to pick up their “lunch selection sheet”
It is necessary to inform the venue on 16/6 of all selections to allow the caterers to prepare the necessary lunch.
As there have been no coffee mornings for the last 2 weeks , members have been unable to book a place for the tasting and this has resulted in very few bookings
The coffee morning on 16th June will be the last occasion when members can book and pay for a place at the tasting as it is necessary to forward a request to Sefton Council to allow the tasting to go ahead
If insufficient bookings are made the tasting on 25/6 will be cancelled and another date in the future will be advised
Members can call or text George on 07826 048379 if they want to book a place
Today’s meeting was well attended and we enjoyed a thrilling talk about murder and mayhem in the Sefton area.
