COMMERCIAL BREAK.......
Once more I have a small but select variety of home-made Jams for sale, as before they are in 450g jars at only £1.50 each. Blackberry & Apple; Blackcurrent Jelly; Gooseberry & Mint Jelly (highly yummy) and Raspberry Jam (made only yesterday!!) All contain only organically grown fruit with sugar - no other ingredients. Place your orders either by QT reply or see me on Tuesday @ the club.
Tony
PS if anyone has any empty jam-jars can I have them please, ta.
PPS hope Heanor was a good one (& drier than '07)

I realise that this may sound rather pedantic and unworthy of such commercial efforts to eke out a meagre pension. But if the fruit is organically grown was the sugar? Or was it(the sugar) produced on non-organically certified farms and sprayed with organo-phosphate based insecti-, herbicidi- fungicides and processed to death in a massive refinery? If so I'll have a jar of your Blackberry & Apple. Unfortunately Ofsted are descending on Wednesday and they want to interview the management level that I am on. So I have to prepare some bullshit and won't be at the Running Club. I'm just wondering whether to mention that it is my management level that is taking a £180 cut in wages after December. Such is a teacher's lot.

yea, yea, yea, so I missed off a comma, wot's a comma between pedants, just a little mark on paper. I dont know if the sugar is organic - in fact I couldnt give a toss, one thing is for certain, there aint no E numbers, artificial flavourings or chemical colourants & that's the trufe. & of course I will keep a jar back for our long-suffering, over-paid & over-vacationed teecha & I'll only charge you &#C2;&#A3;1.50 - you cant say fairer than that! The Jam Man

We have lots of Gold Bond places available in the 2009 Flora London Marathon and would really like to offer some to your club runners. In recognition of the time that club runners put into the sport, we are offering you a place with a discounted fundraising target of £1000 (normal requirement is £1400) + £100 registration fee.
We also have a few places left on our ‘Borneo challenge’ (Trek, Cycle and White Water Raft), May 2009 that your members may be interested in?

I have tickets for sale to see Cold play at the NIA Birmingham for the 3rd Dec 08,.if anyone is interested then give me a ring on 07729-278003 £42.50 per ticket,genuine reason for selling.

The Credit crunch or recession at those flippin' prices I should think.

I know it’s been a couple of months since I first mentioned it, the musical ‘We Will Rock You’ is coming to Birmingham Hippodrome next summer.
This musical is based upon the music of Queen in much the same way that Mamma Mia is based on the music of Abba.
I have reserved a number of seats in the front rows of the stalls for the performance on Friday 7th August 2009.
The tickets are priced at £40.00; I appreciate that these are not cheap, but they are top notch seats to what in all intent and purpose is a top West End show.
Please have a word with me if you’re interested or would like more info. The seats will be reserved for a couple of months after which time full payment is required to secure them.

Message for Chris Somerfield:

Chris, did you accidently pick up my club vest after the last cross country, as I could not find it, and I have asked everyone else. If so, could you let me know, so that I could arrange to come and fetch it, as it is the next cross country this weekend.

Many thanks. Rob Foster.

Hi Jackie.

It is Tuesday 16th December.

A date for your diaries and a chance to think of a time when the weather will be warmer and the days will be longer:

Shugborough Relays next year are on Wednesday 17th June. I shall be sorting out teams and curry (much) closer to the date.

Rob Foster.

thanks Rob, hope to be there
