Hi Adrian,
Yes please to the hand wipes and gloves. I have adjusted the note in
response to your comments and will be sending it out later today. Even
though Ripley is full I think its good to let people know we are doing
things for the Society.
I assume I just send it to newsletter at bromleyartsoc.org.uk?
Kind regards
Paul
