Social Events – Games, Comps, Theatre and Art

Posted 17th January 2020 by Jenna Fisher

As the end of Dry January looms we have a list of social events to keep us all busy until summer begins.

Some events have a booking deadline. The deadline for ‘Otherworld’ is this Thursday, 23rd January. Tickets can be bought in the Teamup store. Teamup is the system that you use to book into classes.

For all events, WhatsApp Jenna on 07843 488249 to confirm that you will be joining the group. Jenna will inform you of the meeting time and place, and any other logistical information.

Prices are listed for those events that we have already paid for and are available for you to book through Teamup. Ticket prices for the other events can be found when you book direct with the providing company.

Social drinks will be arranged for either before or after each event.
