Events Listing
Welcome to Members of Longbow.
Hello everyone, we have had an excellent start to collections
and events this year. Our total so far, for Lincs. & Notts Air
Ambulance has already top the £3,000 mark. We are also supporting
the Nottinghamshire Hospice with their Midnight Memory Walk and
have donated £3,700 to help stage the event. Our two latest events
have been very well attended. There were 73 of us at Spring Dinner
Dance, dancing till midnight after enjoying a superb 5 course meal
served by the catering staff at the West Bridgford Masonic Club.
The Quiz night had it’s highest number of quizzatiers, all being
tested by the devious DRS, could he catch them out ? I think
not.
