SOUTHPORT GROUP

Your Committee

Your current committee consists of Ann, Ian and Shelagh, who want to thank the outgoing committee of Hilary, Sally, Diane and Frances, who have put in many years of hard work for the group, and who will be sorely missed. They still intend to be part of the group, and we hope they enjoy future meetings.

If you wish to get in touch with the group for further details email southport@lswlfhs.org.uk
