What a successful Mad Hatters Tea Party we had on the 24th March 2018. Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped setup the Jubilee Day Centre, it looked truly wonderful. To Carolle Rowson and her catering team. To Val Kilby for running the bric-a-brac, Pam Davey the Mad Hatter and her craft table, Claire Winter for the flora decorations and Jeanette Fattorini and Josie Breton for the Hat Salon and the ladies who walked around showing them off. Not forgetting Leslie Morris for helping to organise. A special thank you to the young ladies who dressed up as characters from Alice in Wonderland, they looked brilliant. We raised a wonderful £1250, so once again thank you to all who came and helped out.   All members are warmly invited to the GVS General Meeting on Wednesday 16th May 2018 at 12pm, which will be held at the Vale Douzaine Room. After the meeting a light lunch consisting of a chicken salad and either a glass of wine or a soft drink and coffee will be served at a cost of £7.50. Please email gvs.admin@cwgsy.net or call Sandra Collins on 247518 if you are attending and if you would like lunch. If you haven't been before, this an opportunity to meet up with fellow GVS volunteers and GVS Directors. The proceedings start off with a welcome from Chairman Ross Paisley followed by yours truly Mandy Le Bachelet with the GVS Managers Report. Be warned last year I had a water pistol to wake up anyone who falls asleep! We then have a brief report from Alderney on what has gone on over there in the last year. Those attending will then have the opportunity to 'Ask The Chairman' so if you have any burning issues regarding the GVS this is your chance to air them. Our Patron, Lady Corder, will then be presenting the 10 year Long Service Certificates to the well deserving volunteers. left Lady Corder at the 2017 GM presenting Dee Blackburn with her 10 year cert. And finally, Any Other Business. By this time you will be looking forward to your glass of wine and chicken salad! We hope to see as many of you as possible, so until then A la perchoine.
