Know your Bordeaux from your Blue Nun?



Thanks to Michelle for hosting our 'guess the country' wine tasting. I think it's safe to say that Jilly Goulden has nothing to worry about but we had a great evening and enjoyed the wine (even if most of us had no clue about its origin!).

Congratulations Chris!



Friday night saw us arriving in Chorley from all over the UK to join the first National Councillors Meeting of the year. Friday night was a big party for Lynda's birthday (our National President), complete with balloons and party bags although wine, gin & beer replaced the ribena. For anyone thinking 'meeting' = 'boring'...think again! I can't think of many meetings where everyone wears fancy dress and plays 'pass the parcel' between agenda points. Congratulations to Chris Goodacre, past Area 21 Chair and member of Welwyn Circle, who has taken up the post as National Treasurer: we're really proud of you!
