Pontefract - Craft & Chat – Notice for Those Who Registered Interest
A short preliminary meeting for the new Craft & Chat Group will take place on Monday 24th August at 2.00pm at Carleton Grange.
This notice is only for people who completed an interest form at the Pontefract Open Day or who have already contacted us about this group. Some email invitations did not reach people, so this message is simply to ensure those individuals are aware.
If you believe you registered interest but didn’t receive an email, you can check with us via the Secretary enquiry form
