March 24 Newsletter
I decided to leave it to after the meeting this month so I could inform you of the full line up of the committee for this coming year.
We welcome new committee members Sophia, Sam and Denise joining Claire, Karen, Tracey, Jenny, Marcelle, Dilys and me.
We are very lucky to have you all.
There is a good programme planned for you all this year.
If you haven’t paid your subs yet can I please ask you to contact me or Di immediately so we can get the money in and filter it upwards as soon as possible.You can pay by cheque, cash or bank transfer. When you think what you get for just £4 a month it’s amazing. Not just from our group, but all the events organised by the East Kent Federation and by National – I think it’s incredible value for money.
