Firstly, thanks to those that joined us for our final Friday of the year last week. We had such a great evening with a true essence of Guy Fawkes commemoration, we were sure to go out with a bang..and that we did, as well as our effigy of Vlad. Big thanks to all those that made it happen too. We look forward to a new season of Fridays next year…
