Thanks to everyone who made the effort to attend the day and who brought a few nibbles, cakes, crisps, biscuits etc etc and a big thank you to Olivia who made a lovely plateful of ham sanwiches. It's always appreciated and those who help Lyn and I to keep the hall tidy during the day and at the end packing away. It was also a fun time at the meal with the majority of people coming along, so if anyone is thinking of coming to any of the other days see if you can spare the time for a meal as well as they are a lot of fun and a lovely way to finish of the day.

The end with Tony taking a picture of me while I'm taking a picture of him, it kept us both amused.
