    Merry Xmas Everybody

    Well it's that time of year again, where everybody thinks they're supposed to be having a wonderful time but aren't really sure they're doing it right (or at all). We're currently homeless and living temporarily at Leah's son's in Blackpool, at least till we can get into the new gaff, so as you can imagine it's all a bit weird for us.....there's only so many times you can drive up and down the prom looking at the illuminations and pretending it's the height of summer minus the crowds

    Whatever, hope you all really ARE having fun, in a Slade-type way, and looking forward to lots of Stratos-related fun and games next year. I'm just looking forward to having our own place!

    Cheers!

    - Chairman Norm

    We feel your pain Norm having moved twice this year and the 3 of us crammed into a one bed annex for 3 months. Have fun and see your in 2024.

    Norman, a shame that you haven't been able to complete the move as planned, but under the circumstances don't be tempted to take a trip up the tower, especially after a few 'Wee Drams' and try to see if you can fly.

    Have a great Christmas one and all, and I hope that 2024 turns out to be a happy one for you all.

    Merry Christmas everybody, I hope you and yours have a wonderful and peaceful time.

    Norm, your missive reminded me......Norman Stanley Fletcher, you are a habitual criminal.... but don't fret too much, it will happen in the New Year, and it'll all be worth while, having moved over the new year two years ago, I know how stressful it is, but it has certainly been worth it subsequently

    Merry Christmas everyone, especially all our Committee Members and volunteers without whom this club and website would collapse!

    All the best for the New Year too!

    Merry Christmas everyone.
    We put a sign up in the village offering reindeer steak sandwiches to any homeless waifs and strays.
    Seems to be a few of them about.

    Sorry....we got the last available space, in a stable with the donkeys from the beach. Very Christmassy, but then, my parents' names were Mary and Joseph* so there's an air of inevitability about it...

    (* - this is actually true)

    P.S., love the floating UFO-type vibe of your place

    I?ll not make the obvious joke about the fruitless search for 3 wise men and a virgin in Blackpool.
