Cancan, I am having trouble with posting replies and P.Ms .I have tried to reply to you thanking you for the invitation to the Sunday meet.

 Unfortunately My O.H. is really not well enough and  is still not able to drive.

 Hopefully we`ll meet up one day,.
 and congratulations again to all the team .

                                                                    Viktoria.

                    :( :'(   CANCELLED    SUNDAY 9TH OCTOBER   CANCELLED  :( :'(

Sadly due to the Weather Forecast of Constant & Heavy Rain predicted tomorrow, I thought best to cancel.

Hope to see everyone at the Cemetery next Week for the picnic
Keeping fingers crossed for the weather!!!!



Viktoria, sorry to hear you won't be with us next week,  we will be posting pics on the website of the day!!!  As we have a couple of things planned!!!

Give my best to your hubby, Take Care, Cancan & the MGCTP Team :)

Missed off last posting - whilst we uncovered 55 Flat stones, in total we done 173.

(Each stone dug out can take 10 minutes for each person - but our wonderful team work together as a TEAM and have a good sense, rhythm & judgment of what needs done for preparing the stones for recording and photographing!!)

Hi All,
Can do lippy and sunglasses, but not earings!
See you all there, I can't believe it's a year already, it's been good fun and met lots of good people and lets not forget loads of hard work, worth giving up my Sunday lie in for!
See you all in the morning

Hi,

I have just remembered that I heard the Mancunian Way is closed all this weekend. :-[

So anyone coming from the South of Town will be hitting possible delays in traffic.  :P

A diversion is in place along Fairfield Street, Whitworth Street, Whitworth Street West, Deansgate and the Bridgwater viaduct.

"Manchester City are playing on Sunday so drivers have been warned of extra delays that afternoon."  ::)

Today we are celebrating the MGCTP's 1st Birthday in style.  Thanks to Cancan's sister for baking the cake and to her niece and nephew for the excellent and very apt decoration.  Great job :D.
