Wembley

I am now in receipt of tickets and have posted to those from whom I have received a SAE. You only need to do this if you are not going to the Civil service Club.

The t shirts orders are coming in quickly now and there are less than 20 left . There may be people expecting to buy on the day who will unfortunately be disappointed. Pre-ordering is the only way to guarantee your size.

There are two seats available on a minibus Ian Jones is organising from Mickleover, Derby to Wembley.

If anyone is wanting to travel with the group, folk should contact Ian Maclachlan by e-mail mach1mod@aol.com.
