I’ll post properly in due course, but a place holder to say Tom has offered to host us on Thursday 10th December.

John, apologies, but because we can only fit 10 people around the table in Tom’s pub, the people who attended last year (and the people on last year’s waiting list) get first refusal.

But I can put you at the top of the list of people joining the waiting list for the first time.

Don’t book your travel just yet!
