Making a New Start

Hello again everyone, it is such a long time since I have been in touch with you all, I've really been very remiss regarding this Blog.....Nobody to blame but me, so I am very sorry, It has been much more fun making things and socializing with everyone than it has attending to "The Housework" and making sure that this Blogg is kept up to date.

Our club is almost a year old now, how fast time flies and it seems timely to reflect on the past year, what has gone well and what hasn't....... and to look forward to the next year, how we will develop on from our first year, changes and hopefully improvements we will make.

I'm making an early start......one thing that needs to improve is Blogg maintenance, It would be really useful if other club members to help keep this blogg updated, please let me know if you are interested in helping me out.

Over the past few weeks we have been having general discussions at club about getting a little more organised, another thing that needed some attention as some people are happy to go with the flow but other people are happier with a bit more structure. Following on from these discussions the following programme has been devised for the next few months.
