Dear all,

In this winter of strikes, here is an opportunity to have some of our own! On Sat 25 Feb, we're going to have a SOC dinner and skittles evening at the Phoenix Inn in Twyford. The plan is that we eat at 6pm and then have the skittles alley to ourselves for some fun competition!

Cost is £18 per person, covering dinner and the skittles. This needs to be paid by no later than Sat 18 Feb, and you also need to let me know your meal choice by then, choosing one of:

- Spit Roast ½ Chicken & Chips

- 3 Pork Sausages & Chips

- Two Haddock & Spring Onion Fish Cakes & Chips

- Homemade HOT Beef Chilli, Boiled Rice & Garlic Bread

- Phoenix Style Beef Lasagne, Mixed Salad, Homemade Coleslaw

- Vegetarian Lasagne, Mixed Salad & Homemade Coleslaw

Payment should go to the club current account, using reference "Skittles". Those of you who ran for us in the CompassSport Cup, it's the same account. If you didn't and need to know the details, I'll send them to you when you let me know what food you want.

Please email me your food orders and any other queries, and remember that I need everything by Sat 18 Feb. My email is treasurer [at] socweb.org (treasurer[at]socweb[dot]org).

The more the merrier, but there's a limit of 40 people so the sooner you sign up, the more chance of getting in!

Thanks,

Andy
