ScHARR February 2015 Even better news
Our newest arrivals Matches In this Valentine’s month we
have to mention the
epidemic of CRG
engagements and upcoming
weddings.
Karen Houghton and her
fiancé Alex will tie the knot
next month, followed two
months later by Lindsay
Ackroyd and fiancé Ian.
Wedding bells also will be
heard in April next year for
Janine Linley and her fiancé
Tony.
Finally, congratulations to
Uzzie Laubscher who ended
Christmas Day by accepting
an offer she couldn’t refuse
from teacher Ian McDaid.
Obviously, if you like
wedding cake, the first floor
open plan is the place to
visit. On Secondment Stephanie Haslam , IKT &
Consultancy, is on
secondment to the Sheffield
Healthcare Gateway project

will be gratefully received.
