WHAT'S ON WHEN - 2008
All dates listed are given in good faith but should be checked
I thought I would get next year's calendar started early, although of course, many of the functions have not been arranged as yet. I will try to add to this list during the year, as and when I become aware of future events and dates etc.
If you think there is something which should be included please let me know - my email address is june@hintsandthings.com
