Visits:
Isny – BF reported
that there had been a recent zoom with Isny
which went very well. It was lovely to see everyone again and to catch up on
the latest news and events. Both sides are looking forward to holding another
one where we hope more members can attend.
Gravenchon – JK
reported that emails have gone to everyone who showed interest in the trip. To
avoid the very high costs of hiring a coach for a small group it has been
agreed that members will take their own cars. FK reported that we had
another mini group meeting and there will be a thorough check list sent out to
members that are travelling over to Gravenchon very
soon to avoid any problems as we will be booking and travelling over separately
instead of as a group this year. There will be 16 members travelling in October
including 4 children.
