All members should have received their
invitation to the 2008 Open House at Ian and Pippa's. This will be
on Sunday 20 July, between 10 am and 4 pm. Members can stay for part
or all of the time. Lunch will be available at a nominal £5, with
proceeds again going towards Bakary Congira's studies. If you
haven't already done so, please contact Pippa to tell her if you are
coming, and if you require lunch.
Pageant AGM 2008
This was held at Ian & Pippa's at 2:30 pm

you a summary of the main business here soon. You can already view the
2007 Website Report.
'Open House' day for Pageant members on
Sunday, 15 July 2007
Following three years' successful summer
meetings, we held an 'Open House' day for Pageant members on Sunday,
15 July 2007. 52 members were present, together with two Gambians
who were visiting the UK; Ishmaila Sanyang (Smiley) and Bakary
Congira. Smiley is a barman in a Gambian hotel, and Bakary is
studying Health Care to work in up-country clinics. A total of
£322.28 was raised by charging for lunch, a raffle and a Gambian
mini-market. The money raised by charging for the lunch was donated
to Bakary to help with his work. Pageant was also presented with a most generous cheque
(£1,000) by Horsham Rotary. We will bring you full details of this
in a news item soon.
Pageant North
Ann Keating, based in Manchester, is now
Pageant's agent in the North of England. She intends to organise
meetings and get-togethers for Pageant members in the North who find
it difficult to get to Horsham.
