    PLEASE folks, do ensure your correct Nos are on your siggies!! Many of you have ones from the old list which makes things more difficult for me. :(
    Please check the 2nd Post of the 1st page! IF you're not there please let me know as I had to change the entire membership list early in the year so you may be missing, but that can soon be sorted out.

    Thank you and I did "plod along", just a little and have £30+ in my holding pot ready for next years challenge.

    I'd also like to echo 32b3in2013's sentiments and thank Sue for all the effort. People may not realise all the work and especially over the last few weeks (hours and hours of effort).
    Very much appreciated.
