My first outing as Social Secretary will take place on Saturday 30th June.

Taking the 10.52 train to the picturesque town of Oakham in our neighbouring branch, the beer festival is a ten minute walk from the station and for the more intrepid there is the Rutland Ale trail to try also.

Fancy helping out at the country's biggest outdoor festival? Lots of benefits to be had by giving up some of your spare time for PBF 2018. Find out all about it here and you can fill in the volunteer form by clicking on this link

Due to a lack of interest, our participation in this event has been cancelled. Also due to an impending move away from the branch area, I have decided to step down from the Social Secretary's role. I would like to thank all members who have supported the branch trips and would like to wish everyone in the branch all the best for the future. Regards John Hunt
