Newsletter Bury LETS October 2007

Dear Members,

"Yum", is the only word I can use to describe the trio of puddings provided for us by the Fox at the Pudding Club night. I will definitely be voting for a repeat of that booking!

There are several less fattening activities going on over the next couple of months from dinosaur hunts to bracelet making so we hope you will come and join us. TheyÕre a great way to meet other members, so please come along and bring your family and friends. We have given trading nights a theme but trade of all sorts and sizes is still welcome.

We will be having a stall at the Green Fair again this year on November 24 at the Corn Exchange so if you would like to do a stint on the stall and earn yourself 10 Abbots per hour, please contact somebody from the core group.

Congratulations To Ann Harvey and family on the birth of baby Thomas.

If you have any ideas, comments or features / links for the newsletter please contact us, we'd love to hear from you!

Feature - Becoming a Friend of West Suffolk Hospital

Hello everyone, my name is Mike Burton MBE, membership no. 32. I have recently become a Friend of the West Suffolk Hospital. I will be helping them to raise funds. Once a year all the wards put in a request for many new things: commodes, recliner chairs or fans to help with breathlessness, for example. In all we spent £20, 000 this year.

If you have any unwanted presents or small bits of bric-a-bric, I could put these in the Hospital FriendsÕ Shop, which I will be helping to run.

You can become a Friend of West Suffolk Hospital for £5 per year with no further obligation.
