For those of you looking for something to do with the nights drawing in, there is an interesting all day conference in Malton on Saturday the 24th October 2015
I am advised by Jill Wilson there are still tickets available for the conference. If anybody is interested either contact her, and she will send you the editable booking form I have posted , or if it suits, just cut and paste the one below into a word document, fill it in and return to her. You then pay the £12 entry for non members on the door, there is also a lunch booking form for those who don’t want to sample the delights of Malton hostelries.
