Are We All Ready? |
The quiz was also attended by Bob Corn Amnesty's Regional Organiser, who was very impressed with the group. He said he was trying to visit all of the groups in his area which stretched through, Bucks, Berks, Oxon, Beds and Herts. He said the real problem was getting volunteers, which seems to be a general problem for everyone nowadays not just Amnesty.

| There was supper included in the price, recently this had been patés, cheeses and salads, but it had been decided to revert to baked potatoes which was met with great acclaim. There was a choice of tuna, cheese or baked beans or a mixture which some people thought was a good idea, along with coleslaw and salad. This was followed by the usual yummy deserts of which there was quite a variety, such as black forest gateau, lemon cheesecake and chocolate fudge cake. There was very little left over. | ||
