Member update
Yippee!!! Jacqueline should be back with us next week - I'm sure we'll all be glad to have her back! As advised last week, the bus trip for Sun 6 March is still on, however we need at least another 7 people in order to meet the minimum for the bus (otherwise it's likely to be cancelled). Please let Jacqueline or myself know by COB if you'd like to come along. We're also in the process of arranging more coffee morning guests... enjoy the break for a few weeks! :) Marcia
