4th August 2016


Hi and welcome back to our Blog,


A couple of reminders for you,


First

Marquisway summer BBQ is on Thursday 11th August.

It is for those of us that are lucky enough to attend Marquisway Resource Center and is always a good event. (especially when the weather is warm and sunny!) 

If you normally bring in a packed lunch but would like to

have BBQ food instead there will be a cost of £3.45.

Secondly,

Don't forget that Marquisway will be closed for our second summer break, week commencing Monday 22nd August until Tuesday 30th August.



We're all looking forward to the rest!

One of our Bloggers left Marquisway last week, Sally-Anne is off to pastures new! We would like to wish her well in her new ventures and hope that she comes back to visit us.

We have some very sad news to share with you.


On 28th June, Michelle Maddison passed away. We were all very upset when we heard. She will be greatly missed.

                                            **
On 22nd July, we received the news that Allan Cumberland had passed away suddenly. Allan had left Marquisway earlier this year. He was one of our "characters".

                                             **


Our deepest sympathies go to Michelle and Allan's families.
