Dear Dallamites

There will be a run of around 10 miles, which Steve Jeffs is to lead. There will also be a walk of a similar time/duration. Both run and walk will be returning to Staveley in time for a pint or two in the brewery and then a buffet style meal in Wilfs at approx 5.30 to 6pm . (You will need to bring your own drinks to the meal).

There will be a choice of meals which will need to be selected on booking which are as follows;

The total cost this year is £25 per head.

I will need to know numbers and meal choices by 15th December but would appreciate it earlier if you can.
