July meeting: Wednesday 3rd at 7.30pm

Hi all, just a quick reminder that our July meeting is to be held at The Saracen’s Head next Wednesday. The address is: 253 Sandon Road, Meir, Stoke on Trent ST3 7BL

See you all there!

I’ll have news from the Archer fundraising raffle – held this Sunday at the Archer pub, Wolstanton. Draw will be after the Quiz, normally about 10.00pm.

New Venue for our Meetings

Good news! We’ve had a meeting with Emma at The Saracen’s Head in Meir today and had a look at their Function Room. The room is separate from the main pub area, yet still has its own bar and toilets. The room is rated for 60 guests max. and Emma has offered it us free of charge for our ongoing meetings. We’ve booked it for each month on the normal day: first Wednesday of the month. Next meeting Wednesday 3rd July at the normal time of 7.30pm.

The pub has a car park out front, and access to the room is via the left hand door (just visible in photo), then up a flight of stairs. On a sunny evening there’s a patio out back with plenty of seating if required. Guest speakers would also have a much easier time of it, as there wouldn’t be any interruptions and noise from pub regulars. Look forward to seeing you all there on 3rd July.

The address is:

The Saracens Head.

June Meeting CANCELLED

Hi folks, sorry about the late notice but we’ve had to cancel Wednesday’s meeting. I had a phone call today from Bob at the British Legion. It turns out the Legion is having financial difficulties and will be shutting its doors for the forseeable future.

I’d like to thank Bob and his team for their hospitality over the years, and wish the Legion the very best of luck while they try to put together a rescue plan.

We will try to sort out a suitable venue in time to save July’s meeting and hopefully have a permanent new base for our future activities and meetings.
