Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances the Charity Night has had to be postponed until after the New Year. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.

I am running Croy Beambacks 5th Tommy Burns Supper in January and note your comments.

Would you have objections to me using this forum to advertise our night to obtain t-shirts and badges etc. for our raffle. I have emailed a number of CSCs and hope to get some donations.

In recent years we have received t-shirts from New York, Tokyo and, believe it or not Papua New Guinea (The Real Jungle Bhoys!).

Happy to note your thoughts.
