Great time to meet up with friends

On Saturday 9th September we will be visiting the beautiful Edwardian country hall and estate on the outskirts of Leeds – Lotherton Hall.

In the evening we will have a group meal at The Ash Tree Inn. Please let us know you are coming by 31st August to guarantee a seat at the table.
