Full marks

Go to the Residents' Committee for last night's Presentation Evening.

We were entertained by "Sunset" who apparently also appear as an Abba tribute act. They were an excellent choice. The trio delighted the crowd with their wide repertoire of music from the 60s up to present day numbers.

• Peter presented a cheque for 1,020€ to representatives from AECC, the local Cancer Charity, on behalf of his wife Ann who sadly passed away earlier this year. Many thanks to Jim who did a lot of the work to raise such a magnificent donation and Mel for organising the presentation.
  
• The Ladies' Darts trophies were presented to Pauline and Helen. Pauline, with her typical scouse humour, told us that they won because they were the best and that they would win again next year and the year after.
  
• The Mens' Pool trophy was presented for the second year running to Darren who told me that he would play with one hand next year to give the rest of the men a chance!
  

Allan White announced that the Book Club would start on Wednesday 10th October. I think the idea is that people bring along books that they have finished with and exchange them for ones which they haven't yet read.

Allan also put forward a proposal for a Christmas outing to the Benidorm Palace on Thursday the 13th December. The cost of (approximately) 49€ would include transport, a four course meal and entrance to the cabaret. In order to make a booking, the Committee will need to have a firm confirmation of numbers including payments by the end of this month.
