Lake District Holiday, June 11th - 17th 2018. (cont. from page1) I have now confirmed our intention of going on this holiday and the deposits will be sent, but this doesn’t mean that the list is closed; we still have room for more people to join us but only twin & double rooms. If you have any friends who are interested, please collect the coloured flyer and booking form from me and as soon as they pay their deposit, we can include them in the group. If we still have spaces later in the year, I will contact ‘like groups’ in Burbage & Hinckley to extend them an invitation to accompany us. Barbara Ward |
