Thanks all for a good meeting tonight and things look positive for the future of ABC J

I did mention tonight that Options for Life who run my daughter’s day centre, which we have supported with a couple of quiz nights in the past, have just set up a crowdfunding page. They are looking to get support for a music project for people with learning disabilities and/or autism. The page is here:

https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/options-for-life?utm_id=1&utm_term=g5pqp6WY9

They have a big target but it will be a great help for disabled people in the area [not just children like many other charities].

If you can help with a donation or can pass this on to others, that would be great.

As we also agreed, I will try to arrange a quiz night for our April meeting – subject to covid allowing us to use the centre.

Best wishes, Neil
