This billed as MS Office applications on Windows and Mac with Gareth and Michael. However Gareth may not be able to be there for personal reasons so this may have to change. Please bring a computer of some sort with you if you can as we will have the projector and screen to use for anything which interests you. I am sorry about the late changes and notification but I expect we can put something together to make it an interesting evening.

This was kindly organised by Frank and turned out to be an unusual venue with a varied menu. I think everyone enjoyed the evening and we were especially pleased that Royal was able to attend with his carer, Tina thanks to Gareth's kind action in providing them transport. We also welcomed our friends from the Essex club, Gerald, Sarah, Dick and Betty, who have supported us in the past. We had 14 present in total which is pretty good. The Bill paying ceremony which usually dominates the end of the evening was however over very quickly and painlessly!
I have appended a few photos below of the proceedings.
