Steering Commttee
by Celia Craig 27 Jun 10
Wondering if I could have e-mail addresses and phone numbers for the members of the Steering Committee - or perhaps these should be on the website? My own e-mail address is: celia.craig@btopenworld.com and my phone number is: 01569 764025. I came across a lovely translation into French of the chorus of Auld Lang Syne and thought of sending it to Meg but cannot - no address or phone number - and I am not at Quoir next week, so ... Thought it might be useful for her French visitors later this summer

there will be stovies...........
really looking forward to seeing everyone--have really been missing being at quoir this last couple of weeks!
