Christmas Message from the Ambling Group Leader
Dear Amblers
Our last event of the year will be a festive lunch. This year it will be held at the Toby Carvery Shenstone 12noon for 12.30pm.
The Toby two-course festive lunch menu is £15.29 and includes a main with a choice of either a starter or a desert.
To book your place, you will need to complete a booking form with your choices and return with a £5.00 cash deposit to me at the monthly U3A meeting at The Assembly Rooms on 16th September 2026, between 1.15pm to 2pm.
The balance of the meal cost can be paid to the restaurant on the day. Everyone welcome.
If you would like to go to the meal but are unable to attend on 16th September let me know.
More details along with the Festive Menu and Booking form can be found under December in the Planned Ambles table below.
