April Newsletter

HASTINGS WELSH SOCIETY NEWS



Our “Crumpets and Smugglers” event in February was very well supported and all, including ‘Roger’ had a ‘jolly’ good time! Thank you Rhiannon for ensuring its success. Our St David’s Day was extra special – the sun shone on all our endeavours. The Mayor’s ‘do’ was very popular with our voices ringing lyrically around the Town Hall. The lunch was a feast beyond compare – good food and good company in a lovely setting. Thank you Marjorie, especially for hunting down the daffodils!

ALLEZ FRANCE 20 May 2010



Can there be a happier way to spend a Thursday than to be in Boulogne with friends? We are going Sous La Manche (through The Tunnel) in a coach and along the Opal Coast. All this can be yours for just £24, but we need to book seats on the LJ Edwards coach excursion as soon as possible. Departures will be from local points between 07.00 and 08.00. You will obviously need a current passport! Please contact Marjorie, no later than 18 April, to book your place and to make arrangements to pay. If you are interested in going to Nausicaa whilst you are there – then you may be able to take advantage of a group discount then do let Marjorie know.



ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS are due from 1 April – still only £3 per person or £5 per couple – still amazing value! Please send your payment to Marjorie, or bring it to the Coffee Morning.
