SI Sudbury, Halstead and District Diary
We meet on the 3rd Tuesday of every month at the Tarantella, Sudbury with the exception of August, when there is no meeting and December when we have our Christmas meal. We gather in the bar for a pre-supper drink from about 6.45 pm. A delicious two course meal at £9.50 precedes our speaker, when we have one, and our monthly business meeting follows. Our friendly group is always delighted to welcome guests and potential members, who may remain with us for the entire evening or leave after the speaker if they so wish.
