Safari Supper
Saturday, 15th November 7 pm to c.11 pm
​
Our ever-popular Safari Supper is back—an evening of food, fun and friendship. Guests move between hosts for each course (starter, main, dessert), making it a great way to meet neighbours and socialise. To take part, simply host a course (on your own or with a friend) for as many guests as you feel comfortable catering for. This isn’t about fine dining — it’s about community. To get involved, email Jane Rickell by 6 October, specifying which course you will provide and how many guests you would like to host.
​
Group pantomime trip
Thursday, 11th December at 2 pm
​
There's nothing like a pantomime for getting you in the Christmas spirit and you don't have to be young to enjoy it...only young at heart! That's why a group of us are heading to the Arts Theatre for a matinee performance of Sleeping Beauty. There are a limited number of tickets available, so if you'd like to join us, email Hilary.
