•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• OPEN DAY Our Open Day, held last month, was attended by a small but very interested group of people who gave us very positive feedback on the day. Our books sold quite well, as did the refreshments in the kitchen. Ian Morden from Mapworks did very well with the sale of his maps and has expressed an interest in being involved in other functions like this that we may put on in the future. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make the event a success. All were agreed that it was worth the effort and discussions will be held re another one next year.
