  1. I attempted with a friend to attend the 30th October meeting. Alas and alack, this schedule printed above bears no relationship the 1152 Club schedule this year. I was given an accurate schedule by a helpful council manager at the abbey.
    A slap on the wrist to you ‘West Leeds Despatch’. If in doubt I suggest to your readers, as I was advised by helpful manager at the Abbey to only trust the “Leeds.org.uk” site in future. Might I suggest humble pie is in order? Or at least a “MiaCulpa”?

    • Hi Alan

      Thanks for your comment and sorry you had a wasted journey! This article was posted in 2015 if you look at the date stamp at the top of the article and referred to last year’s events. The information was correct at the time of going to press.

      It’s definitely time we did an update for this year though.
