The Elders thought it would be really nice to have a BBQ where everyone could come and spend an idyllic afternoon chatting and enjoying everyone’s company.

I can muster up about twenty chairs but if you can bring one with you then please do so.

And yes we have a toilet down stairs so don’t worry if you can’t manage the stairs. 

Nearer the time I would be grateful if will let me know if you intend coming and that you also start praying that August 22^nd is  a lovely sunny day!!

Please come and make this a really happy occasion.
