This was FLAG’s second visit to the Eat n Bowl in St Neots. We found a different coach firm, Chambers, so gave them a try. Apart from the time it takes to get us all strapped in, which is always the case, the coach was great and the driver, Phil, was excellent. The 32 FLAG members arrived at the venue, got a drink, split into five groups and played the first game. My wheelchair packed up working for a while which is my excuse for finishing last on the first game. It may also have been that certain of my opponents had some very lucky shots. After working up an appetite we sat down to a basket meal. My Cheese-burger and Chips were really tasty. It was time for the second game, came third, but no strikes. I think everyone had a good time. Running a bit late we bundled onto the coach and headed back to ba se. A big thank you to all our volunteers who were as always a great support.

31 members attended this year’s AGM which was chaired for the first time by Laura Peggs. She began by welcoming us all to the meeting. Tracey Brightman, our Treasurer, gave a review of FLAG’s Annual Accounts. Reserves have fallen over the year by £1931 to £4143, however we are due to receive funding of £4545 from the Harpur Trust to be used over the next two years. Finances are good. Dylan, our Administrator, gave a report on last year’s events namely: • AGM 2013 - 11th April 2013, • Naidex Exhibition - 1st May 2013, • Thames River Trip - 15th July 2013, • Bingo Evening - 26th Sept 2013, • Halloween Karaoke - 31st Oct 2013, • Christmas Meal - 12th Dec 2013, • Ten Pin Bowling -13th February 2014.

After the AGM we tucked into a delicious Pizza and Salad from the Honeycrust Bakery. As usual our great gang of volunteers were on hand to help serve the food and drinks. Our two youngest volunteers, Amy and Holly, did a wonderful job selling raffle tickets, raising £52 towards future FLAG events, thank you everyone. And then the highlight of the evening, so he tells me, was Dylan, who sang a few songs from his fabulous repertoire. I hope you all enjoyed a great evening of chat, food and singing with fellow FLAG members.

On a bright and beautifully sunny morning on the 4 th September, 23 very excited members of FLAG boarded the coach looking forward to a day out in London to visit the Natural History & Science museums. All transport arrangements went smooth and we arrived at the Museums in good time. After vacating the coach, members split up going their separate ways to their preferred Museum. Some members went to both the Science Museum and the Natural History Museum as they were within walking distant of each other. The highlights of the day for Kerry were going up the escalator into the earth crust and on to the earthquake simulator, Kerry also could not stop laughing at the two skeletons sitting at the dining table, she thought this very funny. Members had refreshments in the Museum restaurants and cafes. Gordon and other members recommended the food. We all then met back at “Dippy” the Diplodocus Dinosaur skeleton and made our way back to the coach. What a fabulous day out! Thank you to Laura Peggs for organising her first solo trip for all the members.

What a splendid Christmas Party our members enjoyed on the 10th December at the Priory Marina Restaurant. 29 members attended the party night, and the atmosphere was great as the drink flowed and the food was good. Everyone appeared to be in the party mood enjoying themselves. Members would like to give a big thank you to the Committee and Linda for all the hard work they did in organising the night.
