Alison: you’re welcome. Shame on the Brewers that such support is needed! Glad to do what I can and wish I could do more…

Paula: we need more colour — thanks for brightening things up. C’mon all you boring grey-suits: lighten up! Learn a lesson from the blessed St Cliff! Hmmm… now what colour was I wearing… black, I think… oops…

Thanks to everyone who contributed, from those who nominated books back in September 07, to our voters and visitors at the ceremony itself. Pity you mentioned I was the one in the dress – I kinda stick out amongst all those grey suits!
Paula.

Ironically you and I were in the same room for the book awards doo dah and I was sitting next to Mary Batholomew and saying that I didn’t know anyone else in the room. Sigh….

Anyhow, good report and hopefully we’ll catch up at something soon

Paul.

Thannk you for coming and helping those struggling financially, and to those others who contributed to the fund so this could happen. It is great to know that people are thinking of us during the ongoing saga.

More gaterings will follow as this one went so well.
