The Mark Ball, Saturday 26th October 2019. Part 2 |
Foxfields Country Hotel, Whalley Road, Billington, Nr Blackburn |
First please accept my apology for the late arrival of my part of the story, this is due I’m afraid to illness and some shock news from my hospital investigations, but I’m not beaten yet. |
Foxfields Country Hotel |
Thanks to my good friend Dave Seers who did his part of the story which I enjoyed reading and I hope you will like my input, I will not say much about my drive to the hotel except to mention the three times we went round the two big roundabouts when my sat nav lost the plot, now let’s face it have you ever known me to get to a meeting without a few mistakes !! I will let the pictures do the talking, just look at all the smiles and add that if you haven’t already been to a Mark Ball be sure to get booked in for the next one as soon as possible as the hotel will get fully booked up, Linda and I had an excellent room with a lounge, a separate bedroom complete with a huge bed and a balcony overlooking lots of trees in their Autumn splendour, it’s at the same location and same time of the year, Come Along and Join in the Fun, just take a look at our very own Provincial Secretary John B, he has all the moves. |
Here’s looking forward to my next Mark Meeting to see the many friends I know and those I have yet to meet. |
