Kathy Paton has asked us to donate craft items

 The Afghan women refugees who are based at the hotels in Grantham are desperate for something to do to pass the time. They are looking for craft items such as wool, knitting needles, cross stitch etc.

 You can drop off these items at Bridge Church, Bridge Central, Portland st, LN5 7NN, Monday -Thursday, 10am-2pm, or Sundays 9.30am-1pm. There will be a black donation box in the reception labelled ‘items for Afghan women’.

PAT testing at Springbok Computers in Lincoln

 If you use your own electrical items at the Thomas Garrett Rooms, you need to get them PAT tested once a year. Springbok Computers offer PAT testing, with stickers and certificate for £1 an item, which is fantastic. I have a small iron PAT tested which we can all use, as well as an extension lead (which I didn't bring on Saturday, but will do in future); I have used Lincoln Stitchers as the name to whom the certificate is given, together with my own address; you could do the same.

Springbok is located on the High Street between Speed frame and the Ritz. The boys (men) are helpful. They are brilliant if you any computer issues too.

PAT testing

 Hello Everyone

We are about to arrange PAT testing on electrical items that are used in the Heritage Rooms.

Any electrical items whether they belong to your group or your own need to be PAT tested if they are to be used in the Heritage Rooms.

 We are going to arrange for that to be done at the Heritage Rooms but we need to know how many before we can book someone. Therefore could you please let me know by Monday 18th October if and how many items you need testing at janetwain6@gmail.com

You can have the testing done yourself if you prefer, you will just need to have a current testing label on those items.

There will be a cost for each item, usually in the region of £1 - £2. 

Many thanks

Janet
