Annual Dinner & Other  Dates:
     
    The Bristol and West of England  Branch of the Society will be holding their annual dinner at the Ship Inn,  Alveston on the evening of Friday, May 27th 2011. The date has been moved to  the Bank Holiday weekend in the hope that this may tempt some coming from  further away to take in the dinner as the starting point for a spring break in  the West Country. There is lots to see and do and you could not ask for a  better starting point! 
      Contact Bill Affleck (SH 45-51) at  william.affleck@btinternet.com or (01453) 832619 for further information.
