If you want to find out about the latest information on Harrogate's wells heritage why not come to our Spas Weekend, next weekend at the Swallow St George Hotel, Harrogate. Malcolm Neesam, the local historian, will be taking a tour of sites on Sunday morning. For a full programme see our web site. There is no time to enroll beforehand now - just turn up and we will complete the registration details on the day. We are expecting between 80 and 100 to join us in Harrogate. This will be THE opportunity to meet and socialise with other springs and wellies! >From: "Graemec" <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: [log in to unmask] >To: "wells list" <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: Re: Harrogate >Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2000 20:29:40 +0100 > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[log in to unmask]> > > <SNIP> > > > > ........................................................
