At last they have got it.

Good evening. 

The Coffee Morning was well attended this morning. The last Wednesday in the month is when we have a bingo session and a raffle. An announcement was made from the people who run the club. Prices are going to have to go up starting in January. The money they charge does not cover the outgoing costs. It's very cheap, £1.50 for a coffee, plus 50p if you want a cake. Over the last few weeks I have started paying more. I take my own coffee in my own mug, so I only need hot water. 

I stood up and said my piece. Most people were in agreement when I said it's too cheap we need to pay more. This is a facility that we need to keep going. Two hours on a Wednesday morning. Come in from the cold, chat with your friends. I hand over £5 for the warmth and company. 

The raffle ticket seller came with her tickets. An announcement was made, that they didn't have many tickets left. Usually they sell them for £1 for a strip of five. But that only gives you one chance to win a prize. This morning they said it is £1 for each single ticket . For that you get one chance to win. This crazy way of selling raffle tickets has been going on for a long time. No wonder they are going through far too many tickets. 

I have said this many times before, what a waste of money. They should be sold singly for £1 each. At last they have taken notice. Hooooobloodyray. 

Another waste of money I have spoken about is the use of paper plates for one cake. I often give mine back and say use it again. It's still clean. They could save a lot of money if they just used a paper serviette for one small cake. Let's hope they take that money saving tip on board. 

Where is the common sense. Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
