The first Cameo meeting since before the pandemic lockdown began in early 2020 will take place at the charity’s hall in Scholes at 7.30pm on Tuesday November 22 with a social evening and quiz.

Cameo stands for Come And Meet Each Other and proved very popular before the sudden halt, welcoming a variety of guest speakers.
