Even bigger thanks to the volunteers who helped run the event, under these circumstances.

A big thank you to everyone who came along to our Bingo night and made it such a success. Our next event is Shells Belles swing night. This is a 10piece all female group, playing big band sounds. Having attended their first gig recently I can fully recommend them.
