  • NeilHB changed the title to Trent Valley Area Group Open Day - REVISED DATE! Saturday 9th April 2022
  • RMweb Gold

Update - we've changed the date! 

 

We feel that at the moment there are too many uncertainties with the current Covid-19 situation to allow us to go ahead safely on the 29th January. Therefore we have agreed a revised date of Saturday 9th April 2022. 

 

I've left the original list of attendees in place for the time being, and will update this as and when folks confirm if they can make the new date or not. Please watch this space for further updates. 

 

We can't wait to see you all then!

Final update to the attendees list to remove any that now can't make the revised date. 

 

We've got a bit of room spare if anyone in the Derby/Notts/Leicester/further afield area would like to come along and bring a layout or display. Do please get in touch  :)

Less than 3 weeks to go now folks! 
 

I don’t know about you lot but I’m quite looking forward to our open day this year - hope to see you all there. I can confirm that there will be a good selection of cakes available on the day, including vegan and gluten free options :D

One final bump - only a couple of days to go now folks!😱

 

Sadly Chris has had to withdraw 'Hensbarrow' from the show, hopefully he'll be able to make it to next year's open day instead. 

 

Can't wait to see you all on Saturday!
