"We must be due a plug by now!!", wrote the good lady from Macmillan Cancer Support's Swaffham group. Quite right too!
They are having a fashion show and clothes sale at the Assembly Rooms on Friday, April 3 from 7.30pm.
The clothes, from the Artichoke Collection, will be modelled by members of the committee and some of their friends and will then be available to
buy.
There will be bags, jewellery and scarves, as well as the clothes themselves.
I don't know if I am meant to mention this, but it's planned that during the evening some of the committee members will receive their long service medals from Macmillan, so that should be enough reason to go along and give them a good long cheer.
I'm sure the night will be great fun and, as always, all profits will be going to Macmillan Cancer Support.
Tickets cost £7.50, which includes a glass of wine. They are available from Ceres Bookshop in Swaffham and from just down the road at 46 London Street, Swaffham. Call 01760 7233834 for more information.
There are two new reports that have been added to the Town Council web site in the last couple of weeks in the section that holds the information that will help build the Town Plan. One of them is the Swaffham Youth Survey 2008. It is full of tables and charts documenting young people's views.
The best bit, for me, was the appendix showing a range of photographs that young people had taken themselves, showing aspects of the town that they like and aspects that they think could be improved.
It's a great mix. While there are some images and captions that will only confirm the stereotype of young people to an old fogey like me, there are others that may surprise.
For example, while one caption seems to make it clear that youngsters have taken on board the global warming and recycling message.
"It's good we have got some bins to recycle things in. Recycling bins are very good, lots of people have been using them", another says: "There are too many pubs". Now that did surprise!
"There is nothing to do at the Assembly Rooms", and "There is a museum but it isn't that great" might be considered predictable, but "Needs to be tidied up and made to look nicer" shows some concern for matters you don't immediately connect with the young. The picture is of grave stones.
It just goes to prove to this old rocker that perhaps The Who had managed to sum it up correctly, "The Kids are Alright".
