TRANSPORT   As public transport is limited to Quex Park we are organising a car share as part of The Ramsgate’s Society’s drive to respond to the climate crisis. If all 20 spaces are taken then that should be only five cars going to Quex Park.  Once you have booked your Eventbrite place please send the following details to suegyde@hotmail.co.uk

– your name

– whether you need a passenger seat or can drive (or both)

– address

– telephone number

– whether you’ll be staying for lunch

– whether non-member relatives or friends may be interested

Sue Gyde will then coordinate the car shares for the day after 16th September.

Very much looking forward to seeing you all at Quex Park.
