Women's Multicultural Celebration Lunch - Postponed

We will confirm the new date as soon as it is all settled.
This event was fully sold out and there were a number of people waiting for cancellations. As a popular event for the women of our community, we anticipate it will remain so.
If you have tickets these are still valid, and we hope you will be happy to retain them. If you prefer to receive a refund, please contact bpwfranklin.tickets@gmail.com with your request and your name and bank account number. If tickets are refunded they will be on-sold, so please consider carefully before deciding to let your ticket go.
Here's hoping it will be third-time lucky !
