We will be holding these meetings at Sale Community Centre on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month in the smaller hall. Start at 1.30 as usual. We can no longer use the ‘Committee Room’ as it is deemed to have inadequate ventilation. We will have to see how it goes though. Please bring masks or equivalent. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, things may change and we may have to revert to Zoom meetings. Having ‘hybrid’ meetings is technically problematic.
Please email Mike Bolton for more information.
