Hi Folks


Welcome to Peter Steele - a new member who joined us at Trinity last Thursday . Hope you enjoy the group.

AGM

Attached are the minutes of the last AGM from 26thOctober 2023 .

I will send out, tomorrow, the Agenda for this years AGM - which is on Thursday 24thOctober at 11am in St. Cuthbert's following our session of aerobics .


Christmas Dinner .

The dinner is scheduled for 12 noon on 6thDecember at The Waterside Brasserie , Middlesbrough College ,

There is a bar and the meal will be served after we have had a chance to get drink .

I am negotiating parking with The College Reception . I am also enquiring about buses to The College .

We originally booked 60 seats . The maximum that can be taken is 70 . I've had to increase the booking as we already have 66 bookings (although a few still have to pay their deposits of £5 per person ) .

There are only a few seats left .

The cost is £15 per person. I will need you to fill in a pro forma with your choice for each course in a few weeks .
