Apr20YDS Annual General Meeting

This year’s AGM will be held at Safe Anchor Trust, Shepley Bridge Marina, Mirfield, WF14 9HR on 20th April  from 1400-1500.

As usual, the meeting will be followed by a narrow boat trip along the Calder & Hebble Navigation and back – places are limited, so if you’d like to secure a place, please contact Rod Dimbleby:

email – rod.dimbleby@gmail.com   Phone: 07545 308346.

The narrow boat outing entails a three hour trip with the opportunity to donate to the charity. www.safeanchor.org.uk   Do have a look at the wonderful work they do.
We’re fortunate enough to be able to book our own YDS trip as our own Eric Scaife works for the charity.
STOP PRESS (5th Feb):  8 out of the 12 places on the boat are taken, so if you want a place you need to reserve one soon.
