REMINDER: A CELEBRATION - of reaching the 100% funding target AND A THANK YOU - to all who contributed so generously and who kept on believing in the book.

WHEN? SUNDAY 16 DECEMBER 10:30 a.m.until late

WHERE? 26 EMMANUEL HOUSE, LILYWHITE DRIVE, CAMBRIDGE CB4 1WL

WHAT TO EXPECT? Coffee or a light lunch, tea and cake, mulled wine and a mince pie. Call in for half an hour or stay all day. If you like, bring something to read, sing or play. Also tango shoes - I very much hope there will be dancing, probably (but not necessarily) after dark.

Meanwhile, don't forget to chase up your promise or your successful bidder from the Auction of Promises - I know that John is very much looking forward to the photoshoot!

And finally a very big THANK YOU to recent contributors Cecille Slish, Richard Robinson and Katie Reynolds. Thanks too to those waiting patiently for me to get in touch regarding your rewards: I aim to be in touch soon - honestly!
