The 2009 ESTFA AGM will take place at the White Bear pub, near Leeds on Saturday 25th July at 2pm. It would be good if more members become involved in the running of our Association, so please come along if you can.

The White Bear is next to Junction 28 of the M62 motorway. Exit the roundabout for Bradford & Morley A650, and the car park entrance is 1st left. Postcode for your Satnav is WF3 1LA or WF3 1JX, depending on which website you look ! However either should get you to the M62/A650 roundabout and then you can’t miss it.
