Special Meetings

Annual 'Suppering Do' and Prize Giving

This is a traditional potato pie supper, is held  to celebrate Edwin Waugh's birthday. Trophies won at the annual writing competitions are presented,  followed by entertainment.
​Booking is essential.

​Doubtless someone will spot that the Waugh's birthday supper is in May this year, and yet Edwin Waugh was born on 29th January 1817.  Consider it our version of an "official birthday".  Due to some members coming from quite a distance to the supper,  and as the weather is usually better later in the year than January,  many moons ago, it was decided that the meeting should be moved to a later date. 
​This meeting  will be held at our usual meeting place - St. Andrew's Methodist Chapel. 

Click here  to book your place at the ANNUAL WAUGH'S BIRTHDAY SUPPER and PRESENTATION OF TROPHIES.

Waugh's Well Walk and 'Strawberry Tea'

Every year, on a SATURDAY in JULY, we have a walk to Waugh's Well in the morning, followed by a concert  in the afternoon, followed by a traditional 'Strawberry Tea'.   Last year we just had the annual Waugh's Well Walk. In 2022, we hope to get back to normal. and have the walk,concert and 'Strawberry Tea', Covid permitting!
