Supper Club for April

For those who have put your name down for the The Fat Italian in April we have been advised that the restaurant changes their menu each month so currently we do not have either their Menu for April or the cost. We will receive this early April but as there is no coffee morning on 7th you will need to call on Tuesday 14th April and choose your menu and pay.

Easter Closure Date

With Easter knocking on our doors this might be the time to send out a reminder that, as per usual, our Coffee Morning will be suspended on the 7th of April.

Please remember this is for the Coffee Morning only, check with your Group Leaders to see what is happening with your groups.

Happy Easter 🐣
