Annual Outing

No annual outing this year?

Could it be that there is a lack of interest? No.

Maybe it’s too expensive? You could only do it for less if you walked there; and then there’s the cost of boot leather and refreshment en route...

The organisers couldn’t think of somewhere interesting to go? Oh, come on!

"Eavesdroppers ne’er hear well of themselves," I learned as a child. So was I to own up when I heard the exasperated organisers grumbling?

  • Did I make a firm commitment, in good time?
  • Did I make an up-front payment?
  • Did I drop out at the last minute?
  • Did I find someone to replace me, if I did have to drop out, so that costs were covered?

This is just one of the social events that are the’ icing on the cake’ for membership the OFS. It would be a sad thing if the difficulties mentioned led to their not taking place.
