Summer Trip and/or Weekend Away

I would now like to gauge interest for a weekend based around our final game of the season at Norwich (Saturday 8th May). I would base this on staying for two nights (Friday7th & Saturday 8th). If anybody wanted to stay longer that could be arranged. If you are interested please let me know by Sunday 29th November, at this stage no committment. I will contact those who have expressed an interest after 29th November with further details.

The commemorative book will be heading off to the publishers shortly and hopefully available pre Christmas. It is likely to be priced at £5.

As part of the Celebrations we are selling polo shirts as shown on our website http://www.carlislelondonbranch.org/news/news.html
