GADC 4th Birthday Challenge

I thought the sign writing was in reference to catering, can the @Challenges_Committee clarify please ?

I had assumed it was any - which discounted a few options for me.

But to assume, just makes an ass and of u and me!

St Aldhelm & St Eadburgha’s Church

The Church of St Aldhelm and St Eadburgha in Broadway, dates from the 13th century, and has been designated by as a grade I listed building

The dedication is unusual. St Aldhelm (c. 639-25 May 709), was Abbot of Malmesbury Abbey, Bishop of Sherborne, Latin poet and Anglo-Saxon literature scholar, was born before the middle of the 7th century.

According to the Historic England website, the other dedication is to St. Eadburh of Winchester, granddaughter of King Alfred. Most other churches dedicated to her are in the vicinity of Pershore Abbey, Worcestershire, where some of her remains were transferred after her death: a cult grew up around her veneration.

Permission obtained from RNAS Yeovilton to fly in the Merryfield FRZ

Thanks!

Didn’t help that when I planned it - I looked at the weather for today and asked permission to fly on the 26th! I put the temperature on the form rather than the date above it on my app!

So had to revert and change the date

:joy: :rofl:

Our senior scorekeeper and department head, Ms. Sell-Laney. Starting as a thirteen-year-old apprentice in the pencil-sharpening shed her enthusiasm and attention to detail brought her to the attention of middle management. Transferred to the scoring department as an eraser-girl she rose through the ranks throughout the long years of Challenges, RTFs and Fun-to-Edits. She was promoted to her present position in time for this Birthday Challenge - thus rising higher in the organisation than those managers who had realised her potential so long ago!

Hi, I’m thick too. How do I create a new post in this thread to make an entry ? All I can see are links to reply to existing posts (like yours) ?
