While coming up later…
Ladies of Willand - Thursday, 15th October at 6.30pm will meet closer to home this month, meeting at The Halfway House - Willand. Their second chef starts next week, menu is being increased. It is still very early days for them and they seem very pleasant. They married at St Mary’s and had their children christened there. So, it seems right to support them as we enjoy a meal and social time together. If you wish to join the Ladies, contact Dene Ogle at: [email protected] so you may reserve your place and have a menu. All ladies welcome.
