Group: Fast Track boundless.co.uk/York Special Edition May 2017

Secretary: Janice Stace TelephoneEditi: 01757 706981 [email protected] Secretary

Introducing your Local Boundless Group This special edition of our Fast Track newsletter is to introduce Boundless York Group and invite you and your friends to enjoy a

very warm welcome at any of our events in the near future. During the warmer months, we organise a programme of monthly visits and events that are either free to attend or very attractively priced (i.e. on a non-profit basis). We also try where we can to include something special: perhaps an exclusive guided tour, access “behind the scenes” or some other opportunity not normally available to the general public. Overleaf you will find details of our forthcoming summer events, including how to book. Through the autumn and winter we move indoors for a programme of Club Night evenings of interesting speakers and other entertainments. These are held on the last Wednesday of the month at the Riverside Farm Inn on the Shipton Road (to the north of York City Centre near the junction of the A19 and the A1237 Northern Ring Road). We start at 8pm and our gatherings last up to an hour and a half. Regularly attracting 40 plus members and their friends from around York and further afield, these Club nights are free to attend unless otherwise stated. There is no need to book in advance and there is plenty of free parking at the venue.

Light refreshments and a very warm welcome are also provided free of charge. All this is included in your existing Boundless membership. There is no separate “membership” of York Group: just an open invitation to come along and enjoy as many of the events as you wish. You are welcome to bring partners and/or other guests if you like. Our aim is to provide a programme that covers a wide and diverse range of interests including, we hope, something for everyone. Please feel free to give me a call if you want to know anything more. We hope you will also join our free mailing list to be kept informed of future events via our newsletter that we issue three times a year.

We hope to see you soon.

Kind Regards

Janice
