We’ve just sold our 100th ticket!

Kingsbury International Day

Monday, September 17th, 2007

Dear all,

the sun shone and our yellow flyers were visible from a long way away! I have just got back in from the above event (well, about an hour and a half ago, actually) and wanted to just provide a quick report.

The organisation of the event itself could have been better and the fact that the day was being shared by two events in adjacent fields, and our location in the smaller field, meant that we were less in the centre of things than we would have liked. However, we made the most of the opportunity and some of us dressed up in costume and distributed literally hundreds of ticket order forms to members of the public whom we might not otherwise have reached. We will have to wait and see what effect this has on ticket sales!!

A number of members were there to represent the Society and we gave a short rendition of three songs to the assembled crowds which was well received by the people listening.

We took a booking for 2 tickets and, much more impressively I think, we signed up another GOLD Patron - the delightful Josefina Holmes (Josefina Gabrielle).

So overall a successful day for KAOS despite some misgivings around the organisation of the event itself. Many thanks to the gallant team that came along to support the event - I won’t mention them by name in case I miss someone out (you know who you are) !!

Amanda Lomas - 1958 - 2007 - In Loving Memory

Saturday, September 1st, 2007

As you may be aware we sadly lost Amanda on Thursday. This is a very sad time and we all pass on our condolences to Terry and Sylvia. Although I didn’t really know Amanda that well I had known her for nearly 20 years and we took great pleasure in having a giggle together. I do sincerely hope that those of you who knew her much better than myself may take some time out to add your comments.
