Hello Everyone
What changeable weather we are experiencing with coughs and sneezies!!
Not sure how to dress!! Wind, rain and sunshine all in one day.
Our supper evening and 8th birthday celebrations were very successful
and enjoyable, lots of lovely food, cake and drink, socializing and
having a good catch up with each other.
The launch of the Members Sales Table was also a success, really gorgeous scarves.
This month it's a Bollywood Night, so get on your dancing feet and shoes.
Loose casual is the dress code.
Come along to enjoy an experience with fun and laughter.
Tea, coffee and chat as usual. Don't forget your coffee mugs.
Donations of cake and biscuits always welcome.
