This morning Hugh, Nev, myself all popped along to Connah’s Quay for the Trefoil Guild Wales’ Annual gathering.
We had been booked to be the speakers for the event, so we turned up early to make sure we were there. We dropped off our stuff then went for a walk to visit a community coffee shop that a friend does stuff with, but alas it was closed (We did talk to one of the main organisers, and may be doing something for them in the future).
So dejected and coffee less we went back to the hall, where we discovered that when you have 150+ ladies in a room, then it is not long before someone sorts you out with coffee, and sandwiches, biscuits, and CAKE!
So after the business of the afternoon was sorted, it was our tern to give a presentation on Blood Bikes Wales, to all those people, including several Mayors, Councillors, Lords, Ladies, and other dignitaries.
The Presentation went great, with the audience laughing in the right places, and asking sensible questions. They also stated that the money from the raffle, plus donations they collected on the way out would all be going to us. We will find out the total and collect it at the next meeting of the Clwyd group.
It was a good and productive day all around, and it was only right that we stopped off to audit the beer in the pub near Hugh as we dropped him off on the way back.
Blood Bikes Wales
Blood Bikes Wales is a charity that transports blood, plasma, platelets, samples, vaccines, donor breast-milk & any other urgently required medical items to hospitals at night, weekends and bank holidays. This service is provided completely free of charge, allowing the NHS to divert funds where they are needed most.
Our riders are a hardy bunch that operate in all but the very worst weather.
