Social Secretary
The first day of spring, so the perfect day to launch the A2OC Social programme. Below is a list of our socials so far - we are always looking to increase the variety and geography of our socials, so if you either know of an event that would be a good one for the Club to attend, or you would like to organise one yourself, please get in touch with either Ian (Proghound), or Teresa
The list below gives a bit of information and also hotels so you can get booked in/buy tickets.
We will put a detailed post for each event up as we get more detail – if you are planning on attending Audis in the Park or VW Whitenoise, tickets are available online now via the event link
We hope to see you during the year.
