Area 2 Handover Rally


What a fantastic night. There was champagne on arrival where we then continued into a lovely room with a fantastic choir singing (I would have joined in but everybody would have gone home - my singing is as bad as my jokes). The table gifts of strawberry bag and chocolate (as well as the all important free wine) were a big hit.

Naomi, our National President had a bit of car trouble to say the least - head gasket gone! After arriving a little late, Naomi rushed down her meal - I have never seen somebody eat so quick. It was fantastic to see Naomi again and thank you for the lovely bracelet which I am wearing as I am writing this blog.

I was very rudely interrupted by the girls in Cheadle & Gatley. They arrested me for crimes against Circle. Who would have thought that my embarrassing photos would come back and bite me! Evidence such as me eating cake from a plate without a spoon, on the dance floor with my 80's style hair do and make up.

Gaye was very surprised at being asked to be Area 2's Honorary President. At least she did not cry on me.

The girls presented me with a fantastic pink survival bag. Inside were lots of lovely goodies such as Vodka (very important), joke book (need to practice telling GOOD jokes - promise not to laugh at my own jokes any more), bubble bath and bath cream for relaxing, alka-seltzer for when I have too many vodka's (as if), party feet so that I can get up and boogie all night, peppermint tea so that I don't have to be a pain in the a*se when coffee comes around, Galaxy Chocolate (a girls best friend), Vaseline so my lips are lovely and soft for all the smiley photos, In Style magazine to ensure I look fabulous on my little outings and much much more goodies.

Paddington Bear has started his travels. I do hope Poynton look after him and take lots of photo's. Looking forward to hearing about his adventures.

I received lots of lovely cards from the girls wishing me luck in my year as Area Chair and Doreen as started preparing my year book which I can't wait to see this time next year. I am sure it will give me lots of giggles.

My husband, Mark presented me with some lovely flowers. I promise not to kill them straight away. Mark also gave me a lovely bottle of Champagne.

It was fantastic to see all the girls again, some of which I have not seen in a while but who are always there when there is food and booze.

Anyway, signing off now - got to do this all again tonight when celebrating Area 35's Handover and 50th Charter in Blackburn - posh frocks all round.

No excuse from Naomi - she is walking to the party.

Raise lots of money for the Area Charity - Stockport Womens Centre. Thanks girls for your kind generosity.
