'HAWKER' MEMORIES

We plan to have an informal session of members' personal reminiscences from their time at 'Hawkers'. We would like members to recount interesting and amusing happenings of any length but not more than 5 minutes. This should give us all a very entertaining time as each story reminds others of their experiences.

So, why not write down your recollections at your leisure and have them ready for the new year. The best will also be published in the Newsletter.

CHRISTMAS LUNCH

By popular request arrangements have been made for the first Hawker Association Christmas Lunch. It will be at Hawker Leisure on Wednesday 10th December at 12.30 for 1.00 pm. Seating is limited to 100 people and because of the expected demand we are sorry to have to make it 'no partners', this time. The well stocked bar will be open and there is plenty of free parking.

Tickets at £15 are available on a first-come, first-served basis, by post with SAE please, from Barry Pegram at 12, Becket Wood, Parkgate, Newdigate, Surrey RH5 5AQ, or from Percy Collino at the November meeting. Please make your cheques payable to the Hawker Association. Cheques will, of course, be returned to unsuccessful applicants.
