in the centre there is the mayoress ronnie philpott, she and the mayor sue jones got around to talking to every guest and kept the party going.
for some obscure reason my picture of the mayor did not come out.

no party would be complete without the hosts, the every popular manager of the centre, karen tranter and some bloke standing next to her.
apparently i am told that it is her husband and forum member multi coloured ken.
had a long chat with ken, as enthusiastic about life as ever.

14:4087894The story and the photos in todays DE totally reflect the joy and happiness of the event. Veronica who is the admin officer here at the centre bought in a dvd of photos taken by her husband at the party and this was shown to much acclaim on the large tv screen during lunch.

16:5087906Good to hear that Ken...will get the papers later and will take a look. Looks like it was a very successful event all round.
Not sure whats happened to Alans pictures above there but they havent been deleted from this end.
Alan you may be deleting them yourself in the upload box before you close it. Once the pictures are uploaded touch nothing just press x top right corner of upload box to exit.
Max size for pictures at the moment is 2MB.
Howard saved the day there for us there above with his pictures. Excellent.
