Ladies who Dine
The ‘Out and About’ Group become ‘Ladies who Dine ! The members of the ‘Out and About’ Group – at present all ladies, so enjoyed their Christmas Outing, that hey have decided to hold a monthly dinner club. Each month, and on different days of the week, a restaurant booking will be made, and information circulated. All the members have an opportunity to nominate eateries that they have enjoyed or heard about, and all types of menu will be selected. A coordinator has been appointed who will give advance notice of the date and time and has guaranteed that even if only one other member can make the date, the meal will go ahead. It is hoped that gradually the members will get to know each other well, and will not have to worry about finding company for an enjoyable meal out. We wish the new group well, and look forward to hearing further news about their exploits.
