The people of St John's Methodist Church who enable us to use their facilities

Age UK

The guests who come and take part, 

The price has been kept to £10 (£5-00) for children because of support from local traders and others including Drake and Macefield, The Naked Man, Booths and the Coop - sorry if I have missed someone. ) These supported us last year

If people can't manage £10, then please see me Judith Allinson who attends the church and does the main part of the organising - there is a bursary fund for this.

The suggested donation is £10 per head (children £5-00) 

If you would like to come - please book by contacting Judith Allinson   judithallinson22@gmail.com  or by leaving your details at Age UK, Cheapside, Settle.  

Please include dietary needs.  We plan to make vegetarian and vegan options available.  It may not be possible to cater for all allergies so please check first.  One person is dairy free and gluten free, and they will have part of the meal but cannot have all of it.

Meanwhile here are links to reports of three of the events that were held over the ten years before Covid.
