Lyme Charity event
The National Trust, nationally, are reviewing the holding of charity events on their land. As a result, Lyme cannot give us permission to hold our John o’ Goats Charity event at New Year.
Sorry about that – it has always been a very popular event and we hope to put on something similar in 2027. Please explain to any friends in other clubs who enjoy coming to the event.
