Dear Colleague,

It is now just under a year before our reunion. Arrangements seem to be going quite well.

The main item at the moment is the dinner, this is not £30 as originally stated, but £35, this is because of a misunderstanding on my behalf, I did not realise that the menu price quoted, was for a set meal. I have had to include veg. and glut free options plus a choice for everybody. A copy of the menu is enclosed.

Regarding the visit to the Yorkshire air museum, I have not booked a buffet lunch, or hired their exclusive room, at £22.50 and £425 respectively, I decided that perhaps we could do without and use their normal catering facilities, which look quite reasonable. The size of their restaurant looks ok for our needs, at least this way we are not tied to a time for lunch. Most of the tables are round.

The visit to Linton is not confirmed at the moment, because it is a bit early to be arranged, I am going to assume that it is going ahead, so that I can collect the names of those interested in going.

The information I now require:

Visit to Museum Yes/no

Visit to Linton Yes/no

No. of nights booked in Hotel. ( I have this info from depositors already)

The Old Swan Hotel, Swan Road, Harrogate. HG1 2SR 01423 500055. Email TheOldSwan@classiclodges.co.uk.

Regards.
