Dear Colin and Members of the City Folk Club,
Allan and I really enjoyed being with you for your Christmas party on Friday 18th December, listening to your lovely folk songs, carols, music and delicious refreshments.
Thank you for inviting us and for the generous cheque for £100 I was presented with for our ongoing Friends of Guiding fundraising for improvements to the Guide Hall.
I wish you all another happy and healthy year making music in our hall during 2016.
Yours sincerely
[Pat]
Treasurer and Booking Secretary.
