AGM cream tea


New Mills Women’s Group AGM Cream Tea

You are invited to come to our Annual General Meeting with Cream Tea on Thursday 21st March 2013 at New Mills Children’s Centre 1pm – 2pm.

This will be an excellent opportunity for friends to catch up on what the group achieved in 2012 and share our plans for the forthcoming year.  We hope to keep the official business of the AGM fairly short, so there will be plenty of time to ask questions before and after.   Transition New Mills will also be selling tulip plants.

All are welcome. There are crèche spaces available. Please call Fran on 07934 290251 if you require a crèche place, or email newmillswomensgroup@gmail.com.
