Charity jackpot

Love and kisses to everyone who turned last night. It was a great effort on a foul night and we have raised £120 for NUJ Extra thanks to your doughty attendance.

Forgot to take my camera along so there are no pix. Lots of people won prizes and I hope some of you are happy with them and apologies to the person who entered hoping for a crate-full of booze but who ended up with the guidebook to Birmingham. All the good prizes were down to Rachael's efforts - all the bad ones down to me, if you're looking for a scapegoat!

Looks like the barbie will be rearranged for one of the last three days in August. Don't forget the meeting later this month, with speaker Formula 1 expert Anthony Rowlinson.

Wet weather plan

You may have noticed there's been a wee bit of rain about the last few days, so we've come up with a wet weather plan. It's a complicated one: if it rains, we'll meet at a pub instead. That took days of planning.

The pub is the Bedford Tavern on Western Street, almost opposite Embassy Court and very close to the Peace Statue. Once there we will drink, chat and, eventually, send some poor sod out into the rain to cook all the food.

If the weather is okay then the plan is still to meet at the groyne to the east of the Meeting Place cafe (near the Peace Statue) today, Thursday July 5, about 7ish.

Free booze, food and a brilliant raffle with more prizes than you can shake a stick of rock at. We look forward to seeing you all. Non-members are welcome too.

If anyone gets lost on the day please give Rachael a call on 07939 258 172 or Adrian on 07944 566 728.

Beach Barbie

We're nearly there. Wednesday is booze-buying day. The fun starts at 7.30pm on Thursday at the groyne next to the Meeting Place cafe on Hove seafront. Look at the sea from the cafe and the groyne is about 70 to 100 yards to your left.

We'll have a short meeting first followed by sossie rolls and drinks after. Don't forget to buy some raffle tickets - all for charidee - as we have some brilliant and some not-quite-as-brilliant prizes up for grabs.
