Thanks to all who joined us for our lovely Winter Walk and awesome New Year Pub Quiz (see some happy winners with their selection of prizes in the photo oppposite!).

Both events were very well attended and a great start to 2012.

We'll be planning more fun events for February after our new committee is elected on this coming Tuesday - and do join us at Pub Night on 2 February.
