The Annual Cecilian Weekend Away is the biggest and craziest social event of the Cecilian calendar. This year it is being held from Friday 26th (evening) – Sunday 28th March at the Urr Lodge (see website for details), where there will be lots of organised fun, drinking and games.

The price for what is guaranteed to be a fantastic weekend is only £40 (this covers transport, food and lodgings for the weekend) which is payable to Yasmin Galloway social@ceciliansociety.co.uk . There are only 49 spaces available on the bus, so book your place quickly to avoid missing out on great banter.
