Thankyou

Hi Jeff, many thanks for checking, much appreicated. I know you'd be the first to offer any items you had. cheers JG

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou

I just wish to thank those kind individuals that have offered doantions to our appeal. I think we've scored a throne, the Queen's chair, a cauldron (I knew someone would have one in the cupboard), the axe, and quite possibly a delapidated wooden long boat...bloody marvellous! I was even asked what else we required, so wil lpost a full list when I get ten spare minutes.... PS: One item I did forget, is the 'Chaise lounge,' velvet of course for the Prince's manservant to laze about on.... now a cauldron and a boat, yeah they were easy, but a chaise lounge, hmm....you never know if you don't give it a go... cheers again to the good Samaritans in ITA land.

Chaise Lounge

I don't know if they're using it at the moment JG but I know Stirling Players have a red velvet lounge (we used it for Eros and Psyche a couple of years ago)

I just thought that might be a lead to chase up if nothing else comes up :)

Sorry I can't offer any of the other things yet (I'll have a look at the second list when it comes up :D)

Wooden bed & mattress (single)

Hey JG, Our friends at Phoenix should be able to help with that. I think Arena used to have a door. Cheers, Ssstinger>>>
