Well we just can't get Jessie out of the water and to celebrate her 9 month Birthday, we went down to our lovely Lago di Ruffino for a swim!
Did anyone just feel that earth tremor at 11pm. Here near Amandola it was very strong but short, the first we have felt for a while. Hope this does not mean there is worse to come.
Had a great meal in Da Cicco in Gualdo last night. Although it was 10pm when we arrived, Michelle the lovely waitress was very helpful and friendly (she is Romanian) and spoke very good Italian and English.
The devastating earthquake that struck the region of L'Aquila on April 6th 2009 is long gone from newspaper headlines and television reports.
The Marche Chapter are holding a BBQ to raise funds for the victims of the L'Aquila earthquake on Sunday 21st June, hosted by Sarah and Mark at their home Villa Conti (please pm Sarah for directions) from 3pm.
Please can we make a list of raffle tickets bought and add them on here when we have been notified. If we can try and just keep this post for the raffle ticket listing so that it is easier to add up. Thanks.
Please can we list here any raffle prizes we have collected or are donating, so that we can all see what we have:
More raffle prizes! - Sarah who works at Cicerone, the publishers of the walking book we found, has very kindly donated a copy for our BBQ. Anyone else collected any prizes - we need as many as possible!

Previously we used a Commercialista to calculate our ICI -they charged us €30 each but we did use the SOGET website and the calculations came out the same. As it was our first time, we wanted to make sure we got it right, but our understanding is that the ICI has been abolished. Are we right or are we being misinformed?
But this is the first email I received from SI and thought it was all in one ??? Don't worry about it - will see how many tickets she sells! Hi Sarah Do you think then we should combine the members here and your barbe guests in the raffle and hold it at your house on the 21st June??? Is £/€2 a reasonable entry fee???. People donate online then pm us for entry notification. I was also thinking it would be nice to throw in a copy of The Appeal song bought from an actual shop. A presto Sally
Thanks for that Ronald - the more advertising the better!
