EuroMayenne Activities September 2013- August 2014 This document will tell you about the plans we have made for outings each month. It is on the website, but it is also designed to be printed off if you prefer having a hard copy available, and for the benefit of those who do not have internet access. Some events are old favourites which members enjoy going to each year, such as the Car Boot Sale, the social get-togethers at Christmas and the Plant Swap. Others are outings to places you might not have visited, some of which are only available to groups. If you have any ideas for other activities do please let me know. Maybe even volunteer to join our little group who do the planning each year?
