It was cheering for the HMSOldies team to receive heart-warming messages from Betty Pooley, John Cripps, Norma Groom, Valerie Bailey, John Rumball, John Eason, Malcolm Horton, Gordon Parfitt, Christine Hawthorn, Jane Burgis, Adele Cook, Anne-Marie Simpson, Keith Batchelor, Les Birch and Nodge Carnegie.

Thank you and a Merry Christmas to you all – we’ll be here all week.
