Cost £8.50 Wednesday 13th January Pub Night ~ The Crown, Sandon Nigel This charming timbered hostelry is, by pure coincidence, just staggering distance from Nigel’s house. Come along from 8pm for a heart-warming beverage to beat those winter blues! Wednesday 20th January Dutch Auction This annual event is an excellent way of getting rid of all those unwanted Xmas pressies and bits of old junk that have been knocking around in the back of the wardrobe. Bring bits to sell (suitably disguised in newspaper or old wrapping paper) and plenty of loose change for bidding - though Dave does accept cheques! Proceeds will be donated to the YMCA. 
Friday 22nd to Sunday 24th January Tanners Hatch Weekend Nigel Spend your weekend in this gorgeous woodsman’s cottage tucked away deep in a National Trust woodland in Surrey. Superb scenery and open fire guaranteed, but bring your thermals anyway - it will be cold! There is no road access to the hostel; you have to park at the National Trust car park and walk ¾ mile through the woods (so don't bring too much luggage but bring a torch!) Total cost £20 to Dave to book your bed. Wednesday 27th January Internet Evening Get surfing tonight! The YMCA now has a cyber-café. Research for your hols, or look up some of those weird web sites that Helen has told us about. Absolutely bound to be both informative and educational, no experience needed! Cost about £2 per hour that you are on the computer.

As tickets have to be booked two weeks in advance, please let Dave know if you are interested ASAP as there may only be a limited number available. |
