Hamilton Lodge invite you to join them for their 70th anniversary Summer Fete on the 20th June. They hope you can come. Also, they would ask that you display or share our event information with families that you feel will benefit from a deaf accessible Summer Fete. If possible they are hoping people will let them know they are coming to help them with planning. This can be by emailing emma.daniel@hamiltonlsc.co.uk or by using their online booking form to let them know. https://eventbrite.co.uk/event/16748220378/
