Friday Night 10th January Meeting Cancelled


After discussions with fellow committee members, I, as the Chairman of the L.O.S. have decided to cancel tomorrow night's meeting at Leigh Library due to sub zero temperatures. It just wouldn't be fair to our elder members, which includes myself, risking falling and the cold etc.

The meeting will be cancelled indefinitely, which means it won't be rescheduled.
The next meeting at the library will be Friday 7th February.

Can I take the chance to wish all our members, A Happy New Year.
Paul Pennington
L.O.S. Chairperson
