Following the working bee, we will celebrate the end of another very successful year with a self-catered picnic adjacent to the pony club where we will have access to the pony club toilet. So, bring your own food, drinks, chairs, table, plates, cutlery and glasses, and, perhaps, a cake, sweet or some fruit to share.
All members and their partners are welcome at the picnic whether or not you can come to the working bee. We hope to see you there.
