Next meeting this Weds 14th March & upcoming social events

By
We'll be meeting this coming Wednesday 14th March from 6 - 7:30pm at MadLab. Whether you've been coming to the group for years or have never been, we're here to give you a warm welcome and a friendly ear. Free tea, coffee and biscuits for all.

MadLab is located on Edge Street in the Northern Quarter just a short walk from Piccadilly Station, Piccadilly Gardens and Shudehill Metrolink. See MadLab's 'how to find us' page for more: https://madlab.org.uk/find-us/

I'm not sure whether we'll be in the upstairs or downstairs meeting room. If you're not sure then just press the 'Office' buzzer and you'll be directed.

Not long now, are you coming?...Folk Train trip - Thursday 26th April
All group members are invited to our first social event of the year - a trip on the Folk Train from Manchester Piccadilly station to Glossop. The train will leave at 6:46pm and you'll have the option of arriving back at Piccadilly for either 9:10pm or 10:10pm. 
We will cover the cost of the return train ticket, food from a local takeaway (see  http://www.norfolkpizzaonline.co.uk/#menu if you'd like to have a look at menu options), a soft drink and the donation for the band.
