We have not been able to meet in person for over a year so hopefully we will be able to see a lot of friendly faces!
Due to covid restrictions still in place, and to keep things simple for Kris, please note the following:
1. Each person attending will be responsible for bringing their own food and beverage.
2. We will wear masks during the meeting and social distance as much as possible as not everyone in the club has been fully vaccinated.
