Venue to be confirmed

Please change your diary or calendar entries!
We will have group stall at the *Village Market* in Burton Joyce
Saturday 8th January 2022
A working group of four will coordinate
We had a good session last night via Zoom with six people on line but it is difficult to formulate a group response when the are so many different issues involved so we decided to form a splinter group of three to hammer out a final draft.
The closing date for responses is 4th January.
Send in your comments before *Wednesday 15th December* so the group of three have something to work with. Thanks
