Dear Members

It’s that time of year again when there is so much to do

and not a lot of time to do it in. The shops are packed

already and the countdown has began for Christmas so

may I take this opportunity of wishing you all a very

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The programme has various events for the coming 3 months but if you have any further ideas, please let Richard or me know and we will be happy to e-mail everyone. A very big thank you to those who are hosting events and I hope you will support the hosts and Fulcrum by attending.

You will see that I have asked for members to contact the host as soon as possible on the meal events. This is because of the festive season approaching and tables will need to be booked early to avoid disappointment.

I look forward to seeing you at future events.

Stephanie

Programme Co-ordinator
