Parting Thought       
Please Remember
 
- Your job is the dream of the unemployed
- Your house is the dream of the homeless
- Your smile is the dream of the depressed
- Your health is the dream of those who are sick
 
Beautiful things happen when you distance yourself from negativity.
 
- Find something to be grateful for.
 
With love from me.
 
 
Hey everyone
 
Well a little disjointed this week after having no meeting last week due to so many of our members helping out at the Hobbiton Hafling Marathon last Saturday. 
 
Judging by the few photos I have seen, looks like you all had a blast. I am amazed at how some of the participants can tackle the course dressed in character. 
 
I don't have much of a report at this stage sorry, so will just share a few of the photos with you. Hopefully more to come next week. Enjoy. 
 
One of our very keen volunteers!
 Gandalf making music with some new friends  
Directions being given by some fine Hobbits 
Now that's a tad scary!
Gandalf was very busy letting people past
 Hobbit Lindsay made some new friends
 
And this one is my absolute favorite.
