I think All Saints were happy with us, and they may have sold an extra few
coffees and teas and sandwiches, so I hope we can go back there next year -
it made an excellent venue - we were lucky to get it.

Yes, its lucky the next meeting is so close we can have a bit of wash up
session, to see how it went altogether, and also new members may wish to
come along ;-).

I think I had better send a nice email to Jackie @ All Saints thanking them
for the use of the church -m without it we really would not have put on such
a good event.

Many thanks to all involved .. I will send out full details about next
meeting in due course
