April Newsletter

Hi all,

Despite all of the rain it is still good to be able to get out in the evening and to see you all on a Tuesday evening.

A few things to catch up on and some dates for your diaries.

Jez Morse – London Marathon

Huge congratulations to Jez on completing the London Marathon last weekend. Jez was running to support a charity close to his heart, Widowed and Young (WAY). He has raised over £1600 so far and his just giving page is still open. The link is here
