WONDERFUL News…Now upto 13 members, please remember it’s a maximum of 25 people for the registration deadline of 10am Friday 5th September. We both thank those who have already booked and look forward to further members joining us all. Regards Patricia & John

BTW I have requested apple crumble with cream, can you please change accordingly, thank you, Judy

Hi Judy,

Changed as requested. I missed the fact that there was an Apple Crumble and also a Blackberry & Apple Crumble :roll_eyes:, so assumed that was what you meant in your original reply.

Kind Regards
