A message from Jenny Davies
Thought you
would all like to know:
THE
KANTCENTRUM IS SAFE
Thank you all for filling in the petition and passing
details on to
others of our persuasion. There are 3 new directors,
Dumon has been
thrown out, the magazine will be published but in a
new format to
include advertising, and Anne-Marie and all her girls
are dancing
around like a dog with 2 tails. Of course there are
other details, like
having to move into the old school building in
Ballestraat whilst the
main building is renovated and decorated. Also there
are plans for an
on-line shop. I am sure that there is a lot more, but
these are the
main details.
Anne-Marie, said BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO HELPED
