News & Activities August 2023

Here is a fun fact! – Did you know that August was originally the sixth month of the tenth month Roman Calendar and had just 29 days?! Julius Caesar added 2 extra days when he created the Julian Calendar, by which point the calendar had become 12 months.
I sincerely hope the weather improves for August!
July brought us celebrations with birthdays, The Summer Party , trips to Greenwich and so much more, here is to August bringing us more wonderful memories!
Look out for the new date of our pub quiz night which we are raising money for the Stroke Association.
Elvis came to join us in July!
