Local volunteers (who generally take part in the meal too too)

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

The Place (For being a base for holding forms) and Settle Hub

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 Butchers, The Naked Man Café, Booths, Trevors, The Greengrocers under the Shambles, and the Coop - sorry if I have missed someone. 

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

If you would like to come - please book by filling in the form obtainable from  Settle Hub or The Place or   Please leave money and completed forms at either at Settle Hub office or The Place both with the address Commercial Courtyard,  BD24 9RH, . If you would rather pay by BACS and  send emailed versions of this form contact Jo Rhodes on hub@settlecommunityandbusinesshub.org.uk and she will send BACS information

The form has a section for 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.
