PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT

GROUP SOCIAL EVENT

ANNUAL SUNDAY LUNCH

AT THE ALBANY HOTEL, HEYWOOD, LANCS

SUNDAY, 14th DECEMBER, 2008

The Manchester Group are again organising a Group Sunday Lunch in December as part of our social programme. The venue as last year will be the Albany Hotel, Rochdale Road East, Heywood, near Rochdale, Lancashire. Members who attended in 2007 were impressed with the meal, prices and service so by popular request we are again repeating the event at this venue. We shall have our own room and there is a free car park at the hotel. As last year there will be a choice between the carvery course and a three course meal.

All members of the Standard Motor Club (including of course the Manchester and Wirral Group’s) and their families and friends will be very welcome to attend this informal social gathering (the more the better). We will meet at 12.30 for 1 pm at the hotel and this will allow members to purchase drinks at the hotel bar if they so wish. Members attending this social function will be responsible for settling their account with the hotel before leaving. The hotel is easy to find from the M60 and M62 motorways but anyone who would like directions should request them by telephoning Bryan on (0161) 483 7121. Anyone requiring overnight accommodation should contact the hotel direct as soon as possible (01706 369606). Please mention the Standard Motor Club.

It is important that we give the hotel a firm indication of numbers who will attend. If you have not already booked for this event please contact Bryan (0161 483 7121) as soon as possible to indicate your requirements and in any case no later than the 30th November, 2008. Any cancellations should also be notified by this date.

This function promises to be a very enjoyable one so please make a special effort to attend.

If you require any further details please contact Bryan Jones on 0161 483 7121 or E-mail him on Bedabrammerjones@aol.com
