Chairman’s Corner
Once again I should like to thank everyone who helped
to make the Christmas party go with a swing and it was
nice to see so many children having a good time.
After the party I did receive a letter from Santa saying
thank you to all the children who took the trouble to
write him a note, most of which just sent best wishes,
and to the others who put in requests he says he will do
his best but he can’t make any firm promises as his
elves are overworked at the moment.
I hope to see lots of you at our winter functions and I
hope you all have a
HAPPY AND HEALTHY 2015
Yvonne
Ageing times
Few women admit their age & few men act theirs.
Time maybe a great healer but it’s a lousy beautician.
A birthday is just the first day of another 365-day
journey round the sun. Enjoy the trip

A boring picture? Not to those of us
who regularly camp at Burton
Bradstock because this is the first
stage of the new concrete drive that we
have always wanted. No more humps
and bumps and no more wheel spins
from campers who insisted on trying to
drive up in 2nd or even 3rd gear despite
our warnings. Now if we can only get
people to realise that 5 MPH is walking
pace and not the average speed at
Silverstone, everything will be lovely.
