The WCAODS Annual Dinner has been booked for Saturday, 15th March at Dunscar Golf Club (7pm). 

This is the biggest social event of our year, when all our members and friends get to meet up, have a chat, and enjoy a lovely meal and great entertainment. Please bring your friends and family too! We'd love to see you. 

The cost is only £30 per person and this year we're re-introducing a dress code of black tie, so it'll be even more swanky! Payment direct to the society's account at 01-30-99 05857945 by the end of February please. 

There's a choice of starters, main courses and desserts, so come down to the Hall on a rehearsal night and put your choices on the board (or ask someone to put them on for you). 

It's going to be a great do! And the more people we have, the better it will be.
