You are invited to join the committee at Punnetts Town Village Hall for our AGM followed by a tasty meal...

This is a great value Friday night out.  The AGM is not only the most important event of the year in terms of the running of the group, it's also a great social occasion.

Bring your own drinks to go with the meal but we supply the rest.

Doors open at 6.00 pm.  The formalities will start at 7.00pm with a review of the group's activities over the last year at and our plans for the next one.  We'll also be voting for the new committee.

This should take about an hour and then we'll eat, drink and - with any luck, be merry!

Put the date in your diary and watch this space... tickets will go on sale later in the year!

Join us for our Annual Picnic -  this year's venue will be confirmed soon.

It's 'Bring-and-Share, so bring either a savoury, sweet or salad dish to share with everyone.  You can bring some of your own produce -  many people do!

It's a great chance to meet and socialise with other SFTG members share tips and advice.

Tea and coffee is provided.

Please bring your own cutlery, plates, glasses, drinks and chairs.  Please label your dishes, for people with dietary needs.

Sorry, no dogs.

Please RSVP using the form below.

COWS, METHANE AND HOT AIR

Speaker: Paul Lovatt-Smith

Do you question George Monbiot's assertion that eating a leg of lamb causes more greenhouse gas emissions than a flight to New York?

Come and listed to my theory of why science has got it wrong on this one.
