Sue Edge, had organised fun and games at the local hall on the

Regional Council Charity Event
Volunteers from the Regional Council Officers,
their spouses and our Event Specialist Emily, redecorated and
refurnishing the family room at the CLIC House in Bristol on 10th /
11th / 12th July 2009. The Regional Council sponsored the
redecorations and furniture and fittings at a cost of
£3,500.
Andrew Cooper, Manager of CLIC House said ‘If it wasn’t
for organisations like the Foresters we would struggle to stay
open, and it was really appreciated that we were prepared to roll
our sleeves up and do the work ourselves’.
Now, what end do I stick in the paint ?
