Hello Everyone
This is just a reminder that we, that is NIPG is having, what may become an annual excursion, on Saturday March 4th.
So, we are NOT MEETING AT CULTRA on Saturday March 4th. Instead some of us are off to a Quilt Shop in Donegal.
Message for those joining our Bus Trip – an email was sent to you yesterday, giving you phone numbers etc. IF YOU DIDN’T GET THAT EMAIL, please contact me asap.
Numbers going have fluctuated as people joined and others had to cancel. Currently there are 28 of us travelling on Saturday morning to Green Acres in Falcarragh. It’s a 33 seater bus. The cost is £ 20.00 which includes lunch (salad box and rolls), coffee/tea, cakes. [Could you beat that with a big stick, as they say??]
Leaving at 9:15 sharp from College Square North. En route we’ll be stopping at either Dunsilly or Ballymartin Park ‘n Ride.
So, if you change your mind, there are a few spaces, but I’d need to know really soon
Walk in the Park deadline Friday 7th April
