Well it’s getting worrying how time is moving on, cannae believe we are at Marches Meeting already!! Didnae realise that time would fly by so quickly the older I got. Very scary indeedy.

So big THANK YOU to Magic Bob for entertaining us so well last month, and a big Thank You to all who attended also. A couple of people who were there last month, asked about the possibility of getting badges for everyone as they felt it would make it easier to get to know folk, this is something we used to do but got out the habit of; so this month Joyce Douglas from Peebles is going to be the groups new Sticky Label Distributer or BBSLD fur short (the title is ma wee joke, aye, granted it is nae very funny but hey ho!) But thank you to Joyce for volunteering to issue sticky labels to everyone’s lapel.
