A NOTICE FROM YORK BRANCH

To all Area 11 BRANCH'S

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT 'Gilligate' the road leading to the Clarence Club for the AGM meeting on the 20th March will be closed for gas repairs.
Their are diversion signs out but we thought perhaps that by putting this information on the web site then members would be aware of this as it may take a little longer to get through York.
If you use the 'park and ride' into York you could get the bus to Clarencs Street and the Club,which bus would depend on which 'park & ride' was used, I hope this is of some use to you.
Yours Aye S/M Pat & Mike Farrington
York Secretary.
