15.01.2022 Hi DQ! Normally we would have a photo of our committee sitting in a car park packing the Journal. This year we weren't able to do this so our Pres has enjoyed the task of sticking labels (sorry for the wonky ones!) and packing in her Drama room. Yes, those are the boxes in the back yet to be packed. Journals will be posted early next week so you'll hopefully have them by the end of week 9. Huzzah!
