Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control we have had to cancel the November lunchtime meeting (18th) and Christmas Lunch in December (9th) at the Abbots Barton Hotel for which we are very sorry. We will hopefully resume events in the New Year.
The lunchtime meeting is going ahead on 21st October, so if you are planning to come please make sure you contact Daphne on 01227 720631.
We will be reviewing the venue situation and update everyone as soon as possible.
In the meantime we hope you stay safe and well and have Happy Christmas and prosperous New Year.
If anyone can spare a few hours we would value your support on the committee, again please contact Daphne.
Best Wishes from all of the Committee

Cancer Care Club Committee
Please note that due to the Coronavirus/Covid19 outbreak, we have taken the decision to cancel the Abbots Barton Lunch on 19 March 2020 and postpone the AGM until later in the year. This has been done in the best interests of all our members and to protect them from any potential harm from this virus which could occur at this event.
Please keep an eye out for further announcements.
Kind Regards

Update on outings
Daphne had some bad news, that the outings provider Buzzlines has gone into receivership. Daphne and some of our members had potentially lost over £500 in booking fees. Daphne is pleased to announce that she has received a refund of the outing fees and has arranged for those members affected to receive a refund. Daphne has also negotiated with another outing’s provider. The company is called ‘Crosskeys’ and the first outing with them took place on Monday 9 September with a trip on the River Lee. If you have any queries on this or want to ask about future outings, contact Daphne on 01227 720631.
