The new office provides an excellent opportunity to welcome members in for a cup of tea and a chat as well as dealing with any queries or needs.

An official opening morning was held at the end of November. It was lovely to welcome members in and show them the new modern facilities and also to spend time on an informal basis along with some festive nibbles. It was great to have deputy president John McLenaghan on site to meet with members and discuss any queries they had.

The health check van was on site which gave members the opportunity to get a health check when they were there.
