Summer Challenges & Club Outings 2023-2024

 

Group Outings will be scheduled on alternate Sundays beginning on 7th May 2023 and finishing on 20 August 2023.  Venues and details will be announced on the club Facebook Page and by Newsletter.  Please send any suggestions to Bob Smith who will be coordinating the outings again this year.

We also hope to organise a trip to Inchcolm Abbey on the ‘Maid of the Forth, possibly as early as 30 April 2023, if there is sufficient demand.  Final details will be announced by Facebook and Email.

Seemingly abstract subjects that suggest a number or a letter. Not actual numbers or letters on signs or posters, but abstract things.
