It's organised by the Thursday Riders, but all members are welcome.

The main offering is as follows for £14-99:-

Can use gluten free gravy on the Turkey dinners.

If some have allergy concerns, please phone Stephen directly on 01253 810159 .

Stephen also has a menu which varies on the day. If you want something other than the Christmas dinner, please indicate "other". Any queries other than allergies to me, not Stephen, who is a busy man!

Partners and wives are welcome if you wish, but hopefully the main diners will be riding from Garstang with me to the club.
