We now boast a membership of five, and all members, myself included, attended our first meeting in the pub. Many ideas for pro-active action were discussed, the most pressing to achieve our goal (of banning all bags) is the need of funds. So to raise cash we are going to host a nearly-new-and-old Bring And Buy Sale. I will keep you informed of the when and where’s nearer the time. In the meantime please donate any donations for the sale via my front porch. You can leave stuff there safely so don’t worry. So please pick SCABs to get bags binned for good. Thank you, Ray Eastleigh

PS Just to clear up any confusion, the ban does not include refuse bags or those ones for clearing up dog pooh

PPS Don’t forget the Apprentice is on television tonight

Therefore the time is ripe to hold our inaugural SCABs (Senior Citizens Against Bags) meeting. I propose meeting in the Blind Badger as it’s the nearest pub to my house and if we meet at 6 – 7 it’s happy hour. So how about getting together next Tuesday, 14 May? Let me know if you’ll be coming, and if there’s likely to be more than 6 of us I can reserve a table. Together we can get some plans formulated, so please pick SCABs to get bags binned for good. Thank you, Ray Eastleigh
