2023 Programme
For further examples of what we do, see our Past events page.
19th April 2023 - Meet the Committee over some cheese and wine the United Reformed Church Hall, Broad Street, Stamford on Wednesday 19th April at 7.00.p.m.
Andy Moore and the Committee have been looking at the Society's aims: that we endeavour to make Stamford more attractive, enjoyable and distinctive and that we seek to protect heritage, enhance the urban environment and promote civic pride. We are planning to work with other Stamford Groups, Societies and Civic Voice with a view to working together for the good of the Town and its people.
There are a few changes that need to be made, for example the Constitution, and we would like the support of Members to make these changes so do hope we can meet together on the 19th April.
If you are able to attend this Cheese and Wine evening can you please let Dianne Parkin know as this will help with catering planning.
