Happy New Year to one and all, but it has not been Good for everyone: our David has dislocated his knee (Was that in the gym, David? We know you like a work-out!) While we are all wishing him well, this means Debbie has had to cancel Wednesday's big New Year event, so pass the word if you and your pals were planning on coming in. Cafe will be open, so come anyway, perhaps!
The 10 week diet and exercise course (was starting on 21st) will be postponed until David is back on his feet (literally!) as no-one is as well qualified to run it for us.

So rousing cheers for David and on we plod .... ... 2026 here we come

GDPR means Security of your Personal Data held (in this case) by Zacchaeus Project.

Thank you for returning the GDPR forms which allow us to keep your personal information on file. If we do not hear from you by 1st October (well, let's say 'soon'), we are obliged by law not to continue contacting you, and to assume you do not wish to continue as members.

You may not use email (regularly or at all!) or you have no mobile phone, or perhaps prefer the landline; we want you to tell us that, on the form.
But any box you do not tick stops us using that information. If you have all ways available and can access them, please tick all the boxes.

Let us know at any time when there is a change - address, phone number or anything else. The cost of postage is so high now that we can no longer afford to send anything out to the complete membership of hundreds. Please accept the Newsletter by email, if you can, or collect a copy from the Centre at any time. We shall continue to post to those who need us to, of course.
