January Meeting with Martin Atkinson - CANCELLED

Martin AtkinsonWarning triangleThe committee of Eccles RA has decided to cancel our January meeting where Martin Atkinson was due to be our guest speaker due to the poor weather conditions making travelling to the venue potentially unsafe.

Given the treacherous conditions experienced recently, and the poor forecast over the coming days, it was felt that the safety of members and guests has to be put first and the only sensible option was to cancel the meeting.

We hope to re-schedule Martin's visit for the near future and apologise for any inconvenience caused by the cancellation.

Fawkes' Christmas Number!

Holly!This month, in our final meeting of 2009, our traditional Christmas Quiz led by George Fawkes (ably assisted by Steve Welch) will be held on Thursday 3 December.

As many of you will know, George's quizzes are sometime irreverent, sometimes bordering on the bizarre - in terms of general knowledge required - but always, always entertaining in the extreme.

As is also traditional, members are invited to bring along some festive fayre for all to enjoy - just make sure you don't all bring mince pies or we might have some members struggling to get round the pitch at the weekend!

The evening starts at 8pm as always.
