Will you please let Rose know by email to r.stimson@btinternet.com if:

— you would like to buy a packed lunch from The Gallery Café for the walk on the Friday. They will cost £5.50 each and comprise sandwiches, crisps, cake and fruit They can be collected on Friday morning from the start of the walk.
Sandwich choices are: Cheese and cucumber / Ham / Egg and cress on either brown or white bread. If you have already ordered sandwiches, please can you let Rose know which bread you would like?
