Great news came early last week: hip hip hooray – the dancers from Aimee Green’s dance group had a fantastically successful day in Glasgow: winner, runner-up and 3 finalists. Marion told Frost Magazine that they are the CCA’s pride and joy.
Multiply were well into the menus during the week, creating wonderful aromas with sweet potato and coconut curry. Several must have had a scrumptious, nutritional meal that evening.
Above you can see the results of the Cultural Creations group, who made Japanese knot bags, Frost Magazine thinks these are snazzy, and Marion is totally in awe.
Marion, Margaret adds, is looking pretty snazzy herself, with her newly ‘done’ nails, which practically match her keyboard, not to mention Bob’s Red Shoes. What a twosome. Whatever will they get up to next? Between us, I have to tell you that Marion reminded me, extremely sternly, that: ‘These nails do not do dishes.‘ No point in telling us, Marion. Direct your instructions to Bob.
It seems to have been a manic week with one thing and another for Marion, what with COVID Spring jabs, Dudley at the groomers, meetings, bookings, making hampers. Not to mention submitting the order for the Friday coffee morning: pies, quiches, sausage rolls, cakes, scones with cream and plenty of nibbles. Marion explained ‘We all look forward to our Friday laugh -a- long.’ Having been to a couple, I can quite understand.

Richard, the CCA’s alluring surveyor, along with Simon, the Council’s Building Officer called in to have a look at the refurb progress. Simon collated a list of items still to be addressed and sent it to the appropriate personnel to deal with. The light at the end of the tunnel is flickering, and the team’s morale is high. They now have dates for various contractors to do specific jobs but they know things can change so the team is philosophical and take it as it comes. ‘We have plenty to keep us busy no matter what happens elsewhere,‘ is the rallying cry. ‘Positivity is the name of the game and that’s what keeps us going. The Brady bunch are made of stern stuff,’ says Marion. Frost Magazine says, ‘Thank heavens for the community spirit which roars within the team, and the community. Bravo everyone.’
Andy popped in to collect the toiletries so kindly donated for the Seafarers, and the Forever Young ladies were in for Bingo and delicious homemade cake. A favourite time for Marion, and guess who else gets spoilt rotten, yep, it’s him with the red shoes, a special slice always seems to come his way.
The Food Hamper was won by one of the CCA’s lovely ladies, Evelyn, a worthy winner, who has promised to bring the basket back to be replenished.
So, that’s the week put to to bed, but in case we relax (!) still more happening over the weekend: the Councillors’ monthly meeting, dancing, Wargamers and last but not least the fabulous Redeemed Christian Church of Christ.
Before this catch up ends, Marion wanted to remind everyone to wish Danni good luck in the finals this week end at the “National Childrens Activities Awards” for most loved Activities Leader in the North. ‘No matter what the outcome, Danni will always be our winner.’ says Marion, a thought supported by everyone, including Frost Magazine.
