Dear Friends,
Once again it is time to invite you to our National Day Celebration. It will be on the 27th of July. 2024, 7.15 p.m. for a 7.45 start and will be held at:
The Brookdale Club

The club is licensed, so alcoholic drinks should be purchased from the bar. We shall serve sausages with Thomy Senf and potato salad., etc., followed by delicious desserts.
After the dinner we shall listen to the speech of the Swiss President for this year, and then sing the National Hymn.
We round off the evening with the children’s Lampion procession to see the bonfire outside and have a sing-along.
If you know of anyone who could supply and deliver unwanted wood for us towards the bonfire we would be very grateful. Please get in touch.
