Open House - 11.02.06
A huge thank you to all of you who came along and brought friends and family to the open house on Saturday. It was great to see you and thanks for making it such a successful afternoon.

I really hope you enjoyed the event. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the day (what you liked, what you would have liked to see etc.) Contact me if you have any suggestions/ comments.

I can also announce the winners from the various activities:

The raffle winner was Andrew. Well done, I think the earrings will really suit you!

The valentines quiz was won by Val. Only 3 correct entries were received. The answer to question 5 was written by the Valentines cards. You had to be very observant for that one! The poetry competition was won by Mary.

I will let you all know if we plan another exhibition in the future and if you enjoyed this one I hope that you can extend the invitation to those who didn't make it and may be interested next time.

Many thanks again to all of you! (and thanks to Ellie for the text above!)
