hi Clare, as you said we also have a bring and buy sale at each meeting,we have 2 a month, always with a cuppa and cakes and biscuits, next month we are having a cream tea as 2 of our members , a married couple, celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary, what a milestone, we like to party, just before our holiday we had our own royal wedding, the bride was a man and the bridegroom was one of the ladies,it was very funny and we hear that there may be a baby to follow, we are also planning for the christmas lunch, we have another day out in November for a christmas shopping trip, the club helps with transport costs, had a phone call today to say that a local bank is paying for a trip to a show and yet another christmas lunch, don't tell Carol where we are going as she will eat all the grub, you girls can have my chocolate as I'm a diabetic but get your hands off my roast potatoes, catch up soon, got more collecting to do tomorrow, want to put my feet up, cheers, Vanessa and co xx
