Some groups have their own drivers which is good, but drivers are required for the Monday Luncheon Club which has about twelve members. The luncheon club is each Monday from about 11am to 1:30pm. This does not mean the same person has to drive every week as we operate a rota system depending on the drivers available. The other service not covered is the library run. This is about one hour on alternate Mondays. This is becoming urgent as the present drivers are due to finish because of the 70 age rule regarding insurance. Report & Photo by: Derek Shaw Yorkshire.
