Club Charities:

Following the 2016 AGM the committee decided that the charities we would support in 2017 should be the Alzheimer’s Society and local dementia support groups.

Monies raised by the audax and cycle jumble will be presented to the Alzheimer’s Society, Young Onset Dementia Connection Point, and Dementia Action Alliance Evesham.

It was suggested that our charity for 2018 could be the British Heart Foundation. There was a unanimous decision for the committee members to choose the charities for 2018.

 

The next Club night will be Monday 4thDecember 2017 at 8pm, Steve Bullen’s house.
