Dear Friends,
As you may remember, Gary FitzGerald sadly passed away in February this year and, due to Covid restrictions, unfortunately no wake could be held.
Jill, Toby & Olivia would therefore very much like you to join them to raise a toast to Gary on what would have been his 68th Birthday.
They will be hosting drinks and canapes at Thorpe Hall Golf Club from 1pm on Friday 30th July.
Love,
Toby x
