LIFT OFF!


I notice that the blog has been quiet since last Thursday. We had such a busy weekend that there really was no time for any sort of journal of the events.Personally, I collapsed into Monday morning and so today it's time to pick up the various threads again.

The cafe opened for people to come and have a look on Saturday afternoon. The afternoon was all I could have hoped for and more. The place was full of people up until the last half hour, and there was a great buzz as people shared together. Thank you to Peter Noble, Audrey Whyte (and friends!) and Julie Keen who did some singing sessions, to Olive Drane for her story telling and to Philip Noble for his string and things! The hospitality by those serving in the kitchen was also outstanding.

Gwen Barlow began work as Centre Manager yesterday. The building phase ends and a new chapter begins. We wish Gwen every success in her new role. I took the picture just before everyone arrived on Saturday. Hopefully we can post some pictures of the event later.
