and a happy new year to all members of the Romford group.

As everyone knows, dear David is no longer with us. 😩 I took over moderator status of all his loops for the interim period so as not to leave loops without a mod. I will be deleting both his and my account forthwith so I’d be happy for someone to take over the reins here. Preferably someone who is local.

Since coming back from a holiday abroad, I have had trouble with connecting to Scooploop. Because we decided to buy a local Sim card instead of paying megabucks to use the UK one, the UK sim didn't reboot when we returned home, so I had to go to the phone shop to get it sorted out, since when it seems that I can't access most of the loops which I subscribed to before. I have submitted a request to rejoin, but so far no luck, although I still get the updates by email, though I can't read more than the title. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know where I can donate some warm clothes and blanket’s for the earthquake appeal in the Havering area?
