To all members on the K&DLHG mailing list

Next meeting.  On Friday 17 May 2013 Martin Way will be returning to Kineton to tell us about “Heavy Horse Trappings.”  Martin Way came two years ago and, in full period costume, entertained us with “Glimmer in the Dark – a celebration of art and craftsmanship in Anglo-Saxon England.”

Annual General Meeting and Supper.  Before the talk our chairman, David Freke, will be reporting on the proposal to change the date and time of this event from Friday 17 January at 7.30pm to Friday 21 March 2014 at 7.00pm, and will be seeking the views of members on the format of the social part of the evening.   Your committee has initiated these changes in the hope that the weather will be better in March than it has been in recent years in January, and that the supper menu (and cost) can be adapted to members’ preferences, for example: would you prefer one or two courses, meat and / or fish, a more limited range of desserts?

Summer Outings. Details of the four outings planned for the Summer months have already been circulated in newsletters, and tickets went on sale at the April meeting.  As the meeting on 17 May is our last indoor meeting until September, please ensure that you have reserved (and paid for) your place(s) before you leave the Hall on Friday.
