[Wylug-admin] Next Meeting - social?

[John Leach]

hi Guys,

August is usually the social isn't it? So that makes things a bit easier
as we don't need a talk.

I'm assuming nobody has volunteered to arrange this so I will (it's an
easy one, hehe)

Whilst I think there is growing interest in Mr. Foley's pub, I suggest
we stick with tradition and have it at The Victoria.

The date will be August 10th at 7pm.  I'll get this booked.

In the past I think we've managed to get sponsorship for food, any
suggestions?  Does anyone know how much this has cost in the past?

(In the past I think James Holden's employer has sponsored, but things
have changed there as I understand).

Thanks,

John.
