Entertainment
On the day we will be joined by Sian Johnson, a representative from the Alzheimer’s Society, who will talk about the charity and the good work that they do.
In addition the ladies will also be entertained by a long-term friend of Carol & Rod, who will sing for the group during the afternoon, possibly allowing the ladies to get up and dance a little!
Carol and her team will have the mobile shop at the event providing an opportunity to buy some goodies and help support Carol’s charity. You can take a look at a selection of the items for sale on the Retail Therapy page.
The team are offering Event Pickup at the lunch. So if you want to order items ahead of time, and guarantee getting them, you can pre-order and select to pick up at the lunch at check-out.
Travel
Taunton has good road and rail connections. We know that some of the ladies plan to make a weekend of it so we have added a selection of local hotel options to this travel page.
