Unlike last year we are meeting from 4pm at the Brewhouse pub at the Brewery, Cheltenham where we have both inside and outdoor seating and there will be a bar, soft drinks and a number of food options available for purchase. Opposite the Holiday Inn Hotel.
From 7pm we will be at Gas Green Community Centre our main venue where we will have a brief opening ceremony then play games, chat, and get to know each other. We will also toast the recent marriage of Chris and Felicity Barrett who of course first met at Grand Tribunal!
Light refreshments (tea, coffee, orange squash and snacks) will be available free. Feel free to bring something to share!
These events are entirely optional, and timings are just a guide to the earliest time they might happen. Feel free to turn up fashionably late.
