Date for your diary

Over recent years the Directors have held a meeting to brief residents about what has happened in the previous year and what is planned for the next. We usually host this in December and provide a few nibbles and drinks.

The Directors will be hosting a meeting again but this time it will be in January as it is proving too difficult to organise something when all are available in December.

Therefore, could you please make a note in your diaries that the Resident Briefing will be held on Thursday the 21st of January at 19:30 in the upper lobby. We look forward to seeing you there.
