Well done Paige.I'm very impressed- particularly with the time-3.29am.
Thought I'd just mention that the September meeting was to be a "Supper Party"-hence the short story.This would take the place of the Christmas Dinner. It is important that we have a good turn out so "is this date O.K. for everyone?"
