Welcome to this round-up of all things CBB over the past two weeks.

* Gathering news:
The Milton Keynes Gather is on 11-13 May sign-up is now closed, but if you are going, please check the Things to bring thread to be sure you have everything you need.
The Winchester Group are planning their next meeting at Wickham, details here, and Leeds and Oxford had successful day meetings on 28 and 29 April, and are no doubt thinking about their future plans.

Only members of the Kaffee und Kuchen usergroup can access gathering threads. Please PM Abbeybufo or Katherine if you are over 18 and would like to be added to the group.

* Discussions:
New discussions recently include Things that are unique to the Chalet School and Sisters at the Chalet School in Lemon Biscuits & Liberty Bodices.

Meanwhile, many older topics are still prompting opinion, and we welcome all contributions, whether you are a newcomer or an ‘old hand’.

To see which drabbles have recently been updated or added to SDL, go to The Sally Denny Library.
You do not have to be a drabble author to register on the SDL, and there is a ‘review’ facility to enable readers to comment. Please do go and familiarise yourselves with the SDL and enjoy your drabble reading there. It is possible to set reminders of new posts, or new drabbles by your selected authors, so you can be kept abreast of what is happening in your favourite stories. There is a FAQ thread has been set up in Ask the Librarian to tell you all you should need to know, and a Drabble Subject Discussions thread in Stacie Benson's Reading Notes for anyone to contribute comments on current drabbles.

* Spot Supper:
This time we welcome Fizzan (Emily), who has introduced herself in Spot Supper. If you have yet to reveal your existence to the board, there is a profile template to help you get over any initial shyness, and you can be assured of a warm welcome there.

If you’d like anything included next week, or if we missed anything in this week’s edition, just send one of us a PM.
JB Kathy_S & Abbeybufo.
