Rhian & I will be there by 07:30 (as long as I don't get lost!) and staying until the end. No space in car going (tombola goodies) but should have space if anyone needs a lift back to Cardiff. And if I get my act together brownies to keep us going!

I am so, so sad to be missing this, it is such a marvellous day to volunteer!
I've put £20 over on PayPal to cover what I'd have spent in Barks & Spencer with lots of love from me, Ian and George.
Hope all goes really well xx

PurplePilgrims definitely rock!?!?!!?
BUT.....Baglady ....One person you didn't thank (but maybe a bit difficult to do!!!) and that is yourself......Susie James!!
Most folk probably don't realise how many tireless hours you put in behind the scenes. I may have left at 9.30pm on the Thursday (slightly broken!! LOL!) but you carried on. And I know you did the same, working past 10.00pmm a couple of other nights, plus..... we may have left after litter picking after the show but again you carried on!!
Your enthusiasm, your commitment and your endless energy are absolutely awe inspiring.
So.....a massive thank you..... from everyone involved including all the PurplePilgrims......and of course the dawgs xx
