Also at the badge night we are hosting Jane’s Robert’s head shaving As many of you will know, Kev Miller has
been doing a lot of fundraising for Cystic Fibrosis.; Jane Roberts (her daughter Emma has CF) Is having her head
SHAVED as a fund raising event for CF. This was planned to take place at the Green Man on the same night so we
thought it would be good to host her to avoid a clash. Come and buy a programme and have a drink at the bar.
Message form Jane Roberts I am having my head shaved on badge night to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis
Trust. A charity very close to my heart. My Daughter Emma is 11 has this horrible condition which affects not
just her lungs but every organ in her body. Emma takes lots of medicines and has endless hospital appointments
and stays. The CF trust has made great step over the years to find a cure for this condition but it is a very
expensive programme to fund. PLEASE come and SUPPORT me and even have a go with the cutters! Many
thanks’ to the committee of NJBS for allowing me to join them.

Hello guys.
Its that time of year again. So me and the team are busy down the tab shed screwing, banging and
making a mess. This year’s the tab has been designed by Nathan Luetchford and Luke villemey. And
of course I have now been left with the easy task of actually building this 16 foot monstrosity!! So if
anyone out there wishes to come along and give me a hand building the tab or even better bring me a
cup of tea and a slice of cake. Me and the team will welcome you with open arms. We are down the
yard most days and evening. There are loads you can help with no matter how young or all you
maybe. But I do ask that parents don't use me as a babysitting service. As I struggle, looking after
myself especially on a Sunday morning. When I’ve had one to many fizz pops, at a out meeting the
night before. The one and only.
