Join us in our bid to raise as much money as possible for MacMillan Cancer Support, a charity which is close to our hearts here at PCRG for their exemplary continued care and support of our team mate Jukes #01 during her illness. 100% of the profits from both the door and the raffle will be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support - let's see how much we can raise!
PCRG will be taking on Cornwall Roller Derby in a rematch of both teams first ever public bout - the score of that first game was 161 - 89 to CRD - this time around we want to reverse that score and take home the win.
There will also be a mixed opener for anyone that would like to skate in memory of Jukes - the teams have been co-ordinated and we have TEAM YELLOW taking on TEAM PURPLE - we have one or two spots still available - contact us if you can fill them - skater tickets are £10 including a t-shirt and a donation to Macmillan :-).
Tickets for spectators are just £5, an absolute bargain as we will have a Vintage Fair with many vendors selling a range of vintage clothes, accessories and household items.
We will have Swing Dancing during the day and as our half time entertainment as well as an AWESOME raffle filled with brilliant prizes. After all the fun and games during the day we'll be heading to The Vauxhall Quay to partake in one of Jukes' favourite activities...a whole lotta dancing!!

The tour continues.
Each day now has the same structure: Get up at about seven, breakfast at half eight, meet at the vans at half nine for the drive to the first site, stay there two hours, drive to next site, have lunch before another two hours searching, and on the drive back to the hotel, one last stop of an hour or so, go to the square for a beer, debrief at seven fifteen before going for dinner at eight.
Rinse and repeat.
Monday was the same as above. Each day the sites and butterflies are different, of course, and we never know if we will see what we hope to see at each site.
Breakfast is simple: a roll or two, yogurt, coffee, then back to the room to prepare to leave.
Unlike the previous tour, we try to rotate which bus we sit in each day, so not to create cliques, I sit in Dave's bus, though Gillian in the front seat talks all say, all day about nothing really, just to fill the silence, and is certain she is right about everything.
Again through the mountains, poor villages, and bright green lush fields before we turn down a track through a forest to come to a wide grass area, which had a small bog at the bottom, too muddy for much exploring, and anyway these early season butterflies don't frequent the bog. Our target was the Spring Ringlet.
We wander off, and despite it being warmer than the day previous, butterflies were slow to wake up, so it was an hour really before we saw any. Two tattered Iberian Scare Swallowtails delighted us all, as they fed on fresh Blackthorn blossom, and the usual suspects of Orange Tips, Provence Orange Tips, Queen of Spains all flew through.
Up on the wooded slope, news came that the Ringlets had been found, so we go off to explore, with only a couple of folks getting shots. We did find the first orchid of the trip, a tiny Early Purple growing in the shelter of a hollow.
Back down to the vans for a short drive to the lunch site, near a waterfall.
It was already very warm, so I sat on the tailgate while the others went off, however I would be rewarded with fine views of a newly emerged European Swallowtail, an Iberian Sooty Copper and a Green Underside Blue.
Which was all nice.
On the road again to the final site, a narrow country lane leading to a ravine, where in an abandoned field, we had hoped to see the rarest of the lot, a Sooty Orange Tip.
In fact the site was rich in butterflies, with many Blues, and the other Two Orange Tips, a Provencal Fritillary.
A shout went out, and news that a Sooty Orange Tip had been seen, and indeed it had. The flighty butterfly was speeding round the field with half the group in pursuit, it likes only Hoary Mustard to feed on, and it did pause twice, but I wasn't fast enough to get shots. It flew off and was last seen disappearing into the afternoon haze.
We wrote our own stories in the stars.
We found solace in each other's arms.
We penned our own ending, and we wrote our happily ever after.

Took the picture just to show that I'm actually working ;)
I'm still paring through the parts of my unsorted purchases, divvying up the parts into groups (minifig, two-by bricks/tiles, one-by bricks/tiles, SNOT bricks, etc.). Of course, groups like Technic have sub-groups upon sub-groups that will be a living nightmare to sort.
After all the purchases are sorted, they will be separated further by piece type, and then separated further by color.
I just took some Advil, so I'm good to go.

San Juan, PR- US Army Col. (P) Jose R. Burgos, Commanding General of the 1st Mission Support Command, US Army Reserve-Puerto Rico, and Miguel Isaac, Command Executive Officer for the command, met with Hon. Jose Baez, State Representative, at the Puerto Rico Capitol Building Nov. 22, to discuss ways of mutual collaboration between the US Army Reserve and the state government.
“We want to continue expanding our presence in the community. The Army Reserve has capabilities that could very well be used to help local communities,” said Burgos, senior US Army Reserve officer in the Caribbean.
During the meeting, Baez explained that he has already identified several communities in San Juan that could benefit from this strategic partnership.
“These are great news. I mean, this is incredible. We have designated a budget of approximately $400,000.00 from state funds to help these economically distressed areas within our city. Having the US Army Reserve by our side would be a tremendous asset because right now we do not have the technical expertise to efficiently impact our communities,” added the Representative.
Meanwhile, Isaac explained the process under which the troops of the Army Reserve in Puerto Rico could help.
“We will visit these communities and our engineers will have to make an assessment of the needs, as a first step” said Isaac.
The US Army Reserve-Puerto Rico Community Outreach program allows the troops to keep the proficiency in their Military Occupational Skill, while serving the local communities in need.
“As operations in Afghanistan decline, we must maintain our relevance of our command, by integrating ourselves more and more with the communities,” added Burgos.
During the meeting, Burgos also explained the new changes contained in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, which provide new mobilization authority for the Army Reserve to use its specialized capabilities to assist in domestic emergencies.
The US Army Reserve-Puerto Rico is the largest federal US Army command in the Caribbean basin.

Continuing our outing along the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway we enjoyed a little detour through the Eagle Valley where we had a chance to stop and visit our friends at Eagle Creek Orchard in Newbridge We were fortunate enough to catch some of the very last apple blossoms. Everyone was busy thinning and it looks like a bumper crop of apples, pears, and apricots should be on their way to this year's Baker City Farmer's Market
The Hells Canyon Scenic Byway is a loop that encircles the Wallowa Mountains, intersecting with Interstate 84 at Baker City and La Grande.
The byway is a popular destination for group tours and independent travelers alike, and offers visitors a chance to experience small town Americana in small towns like Halfway and Newbridge, as they explore the rugged and spectacular Northeast Oregon landscape along the way.
Hwy 86 between Baker City and the Hells Canyon Dam at the bottom of the canyon is open year round providing visitors access to the deepest river gorge in North America.
