Branch Coffee Mornings

The Branch has a regular coffee morning in the Coppice Street Legion Hall (SP7 8PF) every Thursday morning from 0945 to 11:15 except Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year’s Day.  Anyone, including non-members, is welcome to attend for some warm company and refreshment. Current events are publicised at the meetings.  Several times a year we have special presentations after coffee, followed by a simple lunch meal, for which please book in.  Please keep your eyes on the local Press and town notice boards (outside Jean’s Sweet Shop and opposite the Post Office) for details.
