ESNG meeting – 15 May 2019
A rather quiet evening, with just the seven of us at club night. We were missing both the Cha(I)rman (missing on a milk round) and the Chairman Elect (just missing), and a few others. But we quickly set up some … Continue reading
ESNG PlayDay – 12 May 2019

ESNG meeting – 2 May 2019
Busy couple of days, and didn’t get around to blogging – I did something useful instead! Thursday’s ESNG meeting didn’t really happen. Our hall had become a polling station, so we moved into the church itself (of similar size) to … Continue reading
