Trip to Dundee
Please remember if you have put your name(s) down to go and find you cannot make it, we need to know no later than 31 March, so that the final cost can be calculated and paid and your choice from the menu made. The cost is looking like £22 including the 3 course meal. The final cost will be intimated after the numbers are finalised on 31 March, after which we will need to charge at least the cost of the bus should there be any further cancellations.
