BRADFORD & DISTRICT SEA AC

 The trip to Pwllheli had to be cancelled once again because of the inclement weather. We appear not to be having much luck with it this year. So far all of our trips have had to be called off at the last minute because of our great British weather. But we will keep going until we get the window of opportunity. Our next General meeting is on Tuesday, July 20 in the New Inn, East Bierley, starting at 8pm. We will be having a talk about booking trips for next year. There is also a pre-trip meeting for those people who are going on the fishing holiday to Culdaff, Ireland after the main meeting. There is still one place left if you would like to go. Telephone Roger on 07773-139460 to book your place. If you would like to join the club, please come along to our next meeting.
