well chaps i have made the first delivery of kits operation magpie has donated and we all have a very big thank you from all the staff here.
As there are very few photos of the inside of the new rec room i thought i would supply some

part of the room. The bords are from a local school and the residents are doing them up for the schools open days ;D All the art work has been done by residants. sorry but due to the nature of some of the people here i cannot take photos of residents doing kits etc. (security)

the other side of the room with the dvd players etc.

part of the stash soem did not make the table as they were quickly take up by some of the lads :mellow:

two the the kits done in a day


using some of the kits alredy here and a few from the stash this has been done in just two days. :banghead:

well more soon 
see you all at the scotland show were hopefully somebody from hollybush will be their on the saturday for us to hand over the rest of the stash.

Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to watch out for!!!

Wow, you're right Trev!  Never knew that Hasegawa did one.  Just saw the Japanese writing and brain said "Fujimi"
