Tell us you’re coming

Let us know how many of you will be there and whether you need step-free access. Tea at Lindens Hall needs a rough headcount.

Email family@example.com or call 01632 960 824 to tell us you are coming.

Hazel would want you to have the cake.

If you cannot make it, send a memory. We will read it out at Lindens Hall.
