John Penrose Weston super Mares M.P recently visited the Weston branch to help publicise the walk.

 

Mike Stevenson and myself gave John a tour of the branch, meeting the staff and explaining the day to day running of the depot.

 

Mike had a long conversation with John about things that I didn't understand !

I then had a long conversation with John about the walk and our mutual interest in fishing that Mike didn't understand !

 

The visit was scheduled for 20 minutes, but lasted for just over an hour and was a great success.

WORD QUIZ WINNER

 

 

Congratulations to Sarah from credit control, St Austell, who received a £15 Argos voucher by winning the word quiz.

 

Sarah was very pleased to win and said "It will not change my way of life". She would still work for Mill Autos, but was a little concerned by the number of begging letters coming from the Bridgwater area.

 

 

PUB QUIZ

 

Weston Egg Heads

 

Weston branch held their first fund raising event of 2010 with a quiz night at Weston cricket club. The event was a overwhelming sucesess with over 70 people attending. The quiz was M.C'd by myself and I am proud to say I kept remarkably sober. The total raised by the quiz and the prize draw was just over £200.
