Hornet SSC Weekly Dit Friday 29 August 2025
Published 12:06 on 1 Sep 2025
Ladies & Gentlemen, Today at 1:00 PM we will be gathering in the bar to wish Stewart Peters all the very best on his retirement. After more than 36 years of dedicated service to HSSC, this will be a memorable day. Stewart leaves behind a lasting impression on both the club and its members. We hope you can join us to celebrate this occasion. A buffet will be provided, and everyone is welcome to attend. Later this evening, as it is the last Friday of the month, we will also be holding our Club Night. With live music, fish & chips served in a box, and a drink included, it promises to be a great opportunity to meet fellow members and enjoy the evening together. Kind regards, Brian | |||
