Resources and Links
This is where we store things that you may find useful.
This FUN Club Photography Form will allow us to use pictures that we may take of you at FUN Club events as publicity for the FUN Club.
Of course, we will make sure that you are happy about this when we take them, but, as I'm sure you know, we've got to have it on paper.
If you are happy with this, please complete it and send it to us at Frenchay or give it to us when we meet.
