Blakeney Ladies' Lunch Club
Lunch will be on Thursday 8th May at The Manor Hotel as they look after us so well and put on such a good lunch; normal time of 12.30 for 1.00pm.
I am trying to sort out our July outing to Sandringham by coach and will let you know details at the May meeting. Price will depend on how many people go so let me know then if you wish to join us; I will probably need a deposit. Book lunch with Val on 01263 741653.
