First off before I write anything else - let me tell you about the AGM.

Have had notification from Sharkey who with the help of Ed & Gordon has organised the AGM for first weekend in November - time and place as follows:-

Place: Britannia Hotel - Coventry Date:- 2nd, 3rd & 4th November 2007.

For those who have not been to the Britannia before it is situated in the centre of town near the cathedral. Bus station is right opposite for those wanting to go by bus which is really handy. The hotel has offered to arrange a trip into Stratford for anyone wishing to go - last time we went there it was cold and windy but enjoyable - so don’t forget to pack your long johns & string vests.
Seeing as it’s so close to Bonfire Night let’s hope we don’t have a repeat of the fire alarms going off during night as we did at the Jarvis one year.
Though on reflection it’s not a problem as not many S/M’s took any notice and was very surprised at breakfast next morning to hear about it.

February has now arrived after a very blowy January. The only damage we had to the house were a couple of loose slates and ridge tiles needing sorting out. My flaming greenhouse lost it’s door and several panes of glass were blown out. Am I glad didn’t have to go to sea - the Irish Sea was murder but then it usually is. Still not won on the Lottery although must admit actually got one number this week so things are looking up maybe soon will get another couple and actually get some money back. Don’t forget anyone that wins millions my address is on the site.

The Rev. Newton’s wife Mary has been very ill since the New Year has had a bad bout of Pneumonia. Mary is still quite ill but we all hope she improves soon.

Our famous laundry man (Topsey ) has been having troubles galore with his E.mail site. So if you haven’t heard from him lately it’s not because he has fallen out with you it’s just been his PC problem. Anyway it has now been sorted out and so he is now up and running ready to annoy one and all. (Only joking Topsey) Jane his daughter is looking forward to her holiday with us all in Spain after Easter she says and will be coming to the AGM in November as well - Good on you Jane.

I am still waiting for someone to write and let me have some news and photos to put site.
