Bridlington Millau News
February 2001
2001 sees the TENTH ANNIVERSARY of the Twinning agreement between Bridlington and Millau and to celebrate the occasion we are planning a fantastic visit to Millau at the end of October. We would like to make it a bumper visit and encourage as many members as possible to come and join us. So, if you’ve never been, NOW IS THE TIME!!!! The celebrations will be awesome!
COACH TRIP DETAILS: Depart Brid Friday evening 26th October
6 nights in Millau, return to Brid Saturday 3rd November. COST if staying in a family about £90 per person. We can arrange hotel accommodation too from £70 per person per week.
We’ve already launched the trip to people who have either hosted or have been to Millau recently and if I’ve missed you out, I’m sorry but we sent over 100 letters! We have filled 32 seats on the coach already, but naturally want to fill it up. If you’d like to join us then phone Chris 851404 for a chat. We may be able to squeeze you on with the plane travel group, if you’d prefer, so just call!
At the AGM last month the present committee were voted to run again in their present positions so we have Bob Owen – President; Chris Myers – Chairman; Daphne Ford – Vice Chair; Barbara Hall – Secretary; Alan Horsman – Treasurer and Membership Secretary; John Hall – Press Officer. A Massive thanks to all Committee members who help organise so many social events throughout the year. For a taster of what is to come this year have a look at the Final Comment.
It’s membership time again and especially with a trip on the horizon, we will be offering all our members a great deal of reduced prices on social functions, Newsletters, and news from Millau. We’d like to invite you therefore to renew your membership for the year 2001, by either posting your subscription and the tear off slip at the end of the Final Comment or dropping in to the Sewing Centre. All details in the FINAL COMMENT. Remember, our members are the first to know. Keep in touch by renewing your membership today.
HINAL COMMENT
BOWLING AND CREPES
A night out with a difference. What a better way to celebrate mardi gras than with a selection of savoury or sweet (or both !) crepes. The evening will start with 10 pin bowling at 6.00pm at the Forum, followed by crepes of your choice at 7.00pm onwards upstairs at Corrigans next door. The bowling costs depend on how many games you want and the pancakes will start at just Ł1.50, yes ONE 50 only. Order as a group and the more you order, the cheaper it gets !!!!!! So join us and fill up on Tuesday 27th FEBRUARY. To get an idea of numbers for the crepes, please ring Chris or Barbara to confirm your place. All welcome, treat the kids!!!
The committee have also put together a calendar for 2001 which should be going out to all paid up members with the next newsletter. Dates for your diary include:
Bowling and Pancakes - Tuesday 27th February
Quiz Night at the Ransdale – 29th March
BASTILLE BARN DANCE & BBQ – Saturday 14th July
10th ANNIVERSARY VISIT TO MILLAU – 27th October to 3rd November
