BRANCH RE-OPENS
Thursday 22 July 2021 is a
very special day for members
of the GFS South Yorkshire
branch. This is the day when
the group will get back to
holding live meetings once
again, after a period of
inactivity that goes back to
the last meeting they held in
February 2020. Nothing since
then because of Covid.
CHANGE OF LEADER
Within that period, the group has changed hands, ever-popular GFS
member Cathy Staniland is now the leader. In the enforced
downtime, she has re-organised the group's Facebook social media
page, increasing the membership by encouraging people to join not
just from the local area, but from anywhere that Formby enthusiasts
might be based.
Consequently, the group now can boast of members from all over
the UK and even members in foreign locations!
NEW NIGHT & NEW VENUE
Other very important news is that the regular night will now be the
third Thurday each month. Cathy has also announced that the
location of the meetings is also changed and now the group will
meet at The Boatman's Rest public house. Meetings will
commence at 7:40 pm.
The first meeting is a one-off as that it takes place on 22 July, the
fourth Thursday. After this meeting, it will always be the third
Thursday.
On the sound desk will be Cathy's husband Kevin, assisted by Tom
Fletcher.

Press call - Wednesday 14 July
Members were asked to attend at the new venue today
to have a photograph taken for the Barnsley Chronicle to
help publicise the forthcoming opening on 22 July.
Lovely summer weather greeted us and our old friend
Fred Austin popped along with his famous Shuttleworth
Snap motorbike.
Members enjoyed the warm afternoon sun as they
renewed acquaintances for the first time in over 18
months and all are looking forward to 22 July and all
future events at the new venue.
