[Blackpool] Weekend of October 24th 2015

[Tony Hughes]

Hi All

Great news re the grants for the open weekend but as I'm heading to the North East for a weeks holiday I'll not be around for the next 2 Saturdays. I'm sure those present will come up with brilliant plans for what we can do that is new to the group. Looking forwarded to playing with new toys when we have them.
