Club Night - The Spice Merchant - Tuesday 28th January 2025

Hi Ladies,


Here's what we have coming up this month, next week, in fact, next week on the


** Tuesday 25th February! **



We have such a fab speaker for this month, here is some info about the ever-entertaining David Ratcliffe.

If you have seen a Spitfire above this area over the years, it is likely to have been David!

David 'Rats' Ratcliffe

Pilot

David or ‘Rats’ as he is known by everyone, joined the RAF as a pilot in 1979. Following officer training in the RAF he flew selection on the Chipmunk, before spending a year at RAF Cranwell flying the Jet Provost.


Advanced flying training on the Hawk led to the ‘Wings’ flying badge awarded in May 1982, followed by tactical weapon training on the Hawk learning low level formation and air combat.


David flew the Lightning at RAF Binbrook in 1983, but then re-roled onto helicopters flying the Wessex in Northern Ireland, Hong Kong then instructing at RAF Shawbury. He moved onto the Chinook in 1991 serving in the Falkland Islands, Bosnia and Germany, returning to the UK to instruct on the Operational Conversion Unit conversion unit at RAF Odiham.

Hi Ladies,


Next week is nearly here!


Looking forward to our April Club Night being a creative night as we have two of our lovely, talented members who will be helping us get creative in a journaling way and we will be making something on the night. All we need to do is bring along a notepad and pen, as Sue will be sharing some of her many ways to start or add to your journal.


I have seen what Sue is going to be helping us all to make, and I am really looking forward to it as it's something that I have not seen before.


As some of you will know, Sue has put together some absolutely stunning journals; she will be bringing those along as well for us to get some inspiration from.


Pip, who runs a card-making membership,  is going to be helping us create something lovely too, for those who would prefer an alternative. Pip is super talented and has been helping people create cards for many years. she runs card-making retreats twice a year, and they are always fully booked!


Copy and paste this to go to Pip's Website, where you will find out more about the lovely work that Pip does. https://queenpipcards.com

Tuesday Night!


Share A Favourite Holiday Trip & Tell Us Why?


We are going to be sharing details, stories and images if we have them, of a trip/ holiday we have loved and why etc.


Some of us have been very lucky to have been on many holidays over the years, so it may be hard to choose one, but if you can that would be great and if you have any photos, even better, but the idea is to be a LLL travel agents tomorrow night and share what we love about a certain place.


It will be relaxed, inspiring and interesting to hear about each other’s holidays etc.


So, please let me know if you are coming along tomorrow night Tuesday, 24th June.


Thank you, and I will do my best to make it extra fun too!


Please just let me know so I can let Ash know.


Thank you, and can’t wait to see those of you who can make it!
