Happy New Year from GWOF! We had a fabulous night at Fairycroft House for our first get-together of 2026! We created a canvas to show how we all come together with everyone printing their handprint around the words ‘Go With Our Flow’. When finished, the canvas will hang in Fast Eddie’s Bar for all to see. We then made some plans for trips this year and celebrated Flo’s 20th birthday!
