THE Friends of St Cross have launched their 2020 events programme.

At a Reception in the historic Hundred Men’s Hall the Friends of St Cross announced their events for 2020.

John Pringle, Friend’s chairman, thanked all the guests for their support during the past year and looked forward to another year of enjoyable fundraising.

The programme includes a St George’s Day Dinner, outings to the Isle of Wight, Highgrove Gardens and Wadsworth Brewery in Devizes.

The Friends Summer Party will again be at the beginning of June, and the Annual Lecture will be given by Vice Admiral Sir Charles Montgomery entitled “Britain’s Maritime Strategy – Where next?”

The Friends help raise funds towards the upkeep of the hospital, the oldest almshouse in the UK.
