Last two weeks

The last two weeks have seen members enjoy an evening at bounce and a farm tour around a pig farm. 

Members at bounce enjoyed a good game of dodgeball and a nice new pair of socks 😜

During the farm tour members had to wear blue overalls and white paper shoes, to reduce the risk of transfer off diseases. 

After there was a BBQ and refreshments for members.
