A massive thank you to everyone who gave 67 minutes and more

We want to say thank you to everyone who came along last Saturday to give 67 minutes of their time in honour of Nelson Mandela's birthday. The help we got to clean, organise and freshen up the African Caribbean Centre has made such a difference. We now have a place for everything and everything's in its place. I hope we've left nobody off the list of helpers (at the end) but let me know if we have and we'll add them on.

We were so busy cleaning we forgot to take pics on the day so these ones are our 'after' pics. However the first photo is of our Membership Secretary Oluwadare Yerokun because he was such a star on the day. He came at 11am and didn't stop till he left at 7pm. He also fixed all those things we've been needing fixed for months and he's definitely been a real FIND for us. 

Anyway here are the results of your hard work. We've much more to do but what a fantastic start.
