Message from Sylv and Brian.

Hi everyone, we've just got back from the National Volleyball meet at Radnor Bank, Cheshire, it was rather disappointing as only 7 units turned up for this great meet!!!   We managed to get together a team of 5  (which should have been 6) but for the 5 that  played a BIG THANK YOU for some great entertainment.  Well done.

A 'sort of'  photo competition

You may have noticed there are lots of little Superlambananas appearing all over Liverpool and the Wirral during the past couple of weeks.   Here are a couple I found, how many can you find?  Don't forget to send your photos in to us.
 



This one was hiding in the gardens outside Lady Lever Art Gallery in Port Sunlight.



This one was behind a locked fence in Birkenhead Park



This little fella from Birkenhead Park says he's the best super squirrelbanana

The next three were sent in by Katie Punshon. Thanks Katie.

The following email was recently received from May and Graham Deakin.

 
Hi

Just to let everyone know the outcome of the charity night Graham and I did for Zoes place. I raised £1428 plus Anfield on line raised approx £600 (they haven't given me the exact amount yet as they paid it straight into Zoes Place by paypall) on the internet so a grand total of over £2000. Plus Woolworths in Bootle Strand fund raise all year, and split the proceeds between 2 charities and have promised Zoes will be one of them so hopefully that will raise a few bob for them.

One of L.S.W.L.D.A. Christine Jones won third prize in the raffle 4 tickets for Liverpool F.C. Museum & Tour.

There was over 60 fantastic prizes for a separate raffle on the night, I won 3 of them, my son won another 2 and our own Ken Thompson won 3, one of them being a colour portable T.V. I don't think anyone except my nephew and the artist left without a prize.

A great time was had by all.

I would like to thank everyone from our D.A. who supported us by buying raffle tickets and especialy Sylvia and Brian who sold tickets for us when we were not camping, also all the Evertonians who bought tickets, it just shows what a good sociable D.A we are. The money raised really has gone to a good cause.

Once again a very big thank you to all.

Graham and I will see everyone soon on a field somewhere.

Any meets with 20 or less pitches will now become booked meets with a £5 non-returnable deposit - this is now the new DA policy.


I know it's only early but we are now collecting names for our children's Christmas party in November at Lower Whitley.   Could you please either pass names and ages of children attending to any Committee Member or email us at our usual email address?  As is usual, we are asked not to arrive on site on the Friday before 2pm.  Thanks

--------------------
 


Congratulations must also go to fellow DA members Peter and Barbara Sanders on being awarded 5 van status on their newly opened camp site at their home at Llanfair Bach, Penrhos Beach Road, Holyhead in Anglesey (Postcode LL65 2PR).    They opened on Friday 23rd May, and were instantly fully booked over that weekend!!!!!   (I hear they are much cheaper than their neighbouring camp sites!!)

They welcome all units, be it tents, caravans or motorhomes and have electric hook up points for all.   They say they are very close to beautiful beaches and there are also shops nearby, and are also a great place to stay if you are planning a trip to Ireland, being close to the ferry ports.

Booking is advisable judging by their success so far,  contact numbers are 01407 764104  or mobile 07738 159249

URGENTLY NEEDED - Kind hearted members to help take marquees and other items out to our meets.   You don't have to take a whole marquee, just a little bit of help would be appreciated.
