Hi everyone and welcome to the final newsletter of 2025.

NOVEMBER 2024

The annual Ladies Lunch was held at Arta in Glasgow with over 20 attendees. The service and food provided was not quite as expected but we soldiered on and afterwards, we retired to O’Neil’s bar to continue our day out with more refreshments and chatter.
