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.

Boxes and bowls with Ann and Monika

 Ann and Monika worked hard to give us a lovely day of stitching together. Many thanks from us all.
