Many thanks to all who came along & helped to warm the room up and especially to Snuffy for hosting the Singaround. Also for all your help in supporting the MudRaffle by bringing prizes & buying tickets. The draw & prizegiving was a bit rushed I'm afraid, I'd kinda lost track of time.

We raised £40.50 & I've sent a cheque* off to Bill Sables to forward it on to Max to help with the colossal telephone bills he has every month trying to keep the MudCat running for our pleasure. (* actually I managed to make the cheque out for only £40 before I remembered the 50p, but I've promised to make it up on the next one)

So good that Catters are getting into the spirit of the Chocolate tradition. Speciality chocolates aplenty, special mention to MandoTim who brought homemade ginger & sweet chilli covered chocolates & also to MBSLynne with her gin-soaked strawberries & celery. Well done too for ColK having freshly dipped celery created at the Craft Fair!!

Lovely to see/hear so many Catters with their songs & tunes, hope it won't be long before we meet agaim.
