DOH, sorry I cocked up the page numbers and only posted half the article.

Here's the complete story:

Double Wow! Thanks Eddie

There you go see if you can see your pens.

As this was the first parcel I sent it only contained pens from 14 of us, I think that has now risen to 18 must check my books

Great to see a great article like that and we don't mind recipes as well Eddie.

That is great. Even makes me feel a bit proud of it. Wish this was around 40 years ago.

Woodenink, Sundowner, David Mitchel, Touchwood and Simomatra are the ones that I find in the first lot stil contributing.

Please let me know if I am wrong

I printed out that newsletter and gave a copy to one of the active RSL guys here where I live. He was very impressed that this was being done.
He was going to pin it on the local RSL noticeboard for all to see.

He was telling me they use some of the money they raise from raffles etc, to send packages to the local Guys serving oversees.
He knew first hand how much something sent from home, meant to the ones doing it tough a long way from home.
