Update 06/02/2023
Dear all,
Happy New Year to you. We hope you all had a good Christmas.
Just to let you know, we are presently considering our next SCARA Southampton event, and have decided to hold it on Thursday 13th April, so please put that in your diaries now.
Regarding the venue, we are looking at reviving the buffet curry at the Everest Restaurant which we were unable to hold last September, and which we had suggested we might do when we cancelled it. We will get back to you as soon as possible with further details on that.
Meantime keep warm and don’t use too much electricity, but regardless of everything else, please set aside the 13th April for our next get together.
As always, spouses and partners are most welcome, if they can put up with you wittering on endlessly about your exciting adventures in the employ of OCL/POCL/PONL.
Please also tell any ex-employee you know about the event and, if they are not aware, put them in touch with us, or let us have their contact details.
Looking forward to seeing you all on the 13th April.
With very best regards
Julian and James
