THE HUBBERTON HIKERS CHRISTMAS PARTY WILL TAKE PLACE ON FRIDAY 13TH JANUARY 2005 AT THE CRAGRATS RESTAURANT HOLMFIRTH. THE PRICE FOR THE MEAL WILL BE AROUND £30.00 PER HEAD AND DRINKS WILL BE EXTRA.
THE COST OF THE MEAL INCLUDES LIVE ENTERTAINMENT. THIS YEARS ENTERTAINMENT WILL BE DECIDED UPON NEARER THE TIME (IF YOU'RE LUCKY IT COULD BE THE SQUIRE)!! IT IS HOPED TRANSPORT WILL BE PROVIDED BY SOME PEOPLE DRIVING ON THE NIGHT (PLEASE INFORM THE SQUIRE IF YOU ARE WILLING TO DRIVE) OR A COACH/TAXIS CAN BE BOOKED AT EXTRA COST.

IT WOULD BE GRATEFULLY APPRECIATED IF MEMBERS COULD FILL IN THEIR REPLY FORM ATTACHED TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS LETTER AND RETURN WITH A £5 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT PER PERSON. THE REMAINDER OF THE COST TO BE PAID ON THE NIGHT BY CREDIT CARD CHEQUE OR CASH TO THE RESTAURANT.
I DO APOLOGISE FOR A NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT BEING TAKEN BUT AFTER PROBLEMS ARISING FROM A FEW YEARS AGO I FIND NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE BUT TO COVER MY OWN COSTS. I DO HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.
