Last week in March - read our guest feedback @ http://www.no678guestfeedback.blogspot.com

For the past two weeks we’d been hoping to bring some golfing news but adverse conditions have put a stop to this; the first week there were transport problems and then of course this week snow and ice prevented our ‘fairweather’ golfers (Tom, Paul and Matt) from donning their waterproofs. Hopefully next week transport and weather will be kind and there’ll be some news to bring.

St. Andrew’s Children’s Hospice is our chosen charity for this year. http://www.standrewshospice.com/children_index.asp

A weekend for two at No678 Guest House at any chosen time is up for auction at their forthcoming Charity Ball.

St Andrews Childrens Hospice cares for children and young people up to the age of 21 years who all have been diagnosed with a progressive life limiting illness and require palliative care. The hospice also gives support to the family members of these children and all of the services are provided free of charge. The hospice takes children from a wide geographical area and offer both day therapy and in-patient care.

Our nephew's wife is a midwife in Grimsby and, together with five of her colleagues, will be 'walking the walk' by visiting The Great Wall of China to undertake a 6 day trek. There will be 22 other trekkers joining us from various places in the UK all walking for their own chosen charities. Good luck, Amanda. With four children of her own who will be staying at home I’m not sure who will be working the hardest; grandma or Amanda!!!! We’ll keep you informed as progress is made.

The Hargreaves Arms once again received the best accolade from our guests for their warm welcome, beer selection and tasty food.

The Black Pudding Hashers (drinkers with a walking problem) go hashing every four weeks. Our last hash was from The Hargreaves Arms with fourteen of us joining in the fun. It's always good fun, a great way to enjoy the countryside and a relaxing social event. I'm pleased to say that we don't have many 'runners' amongst us so the pace is always 'manageable'.

Next week's hash, 6 April, starts at The Buck Inn at Cowpe and we'll be meeting at the usual time, 11:30.
