Good for you and Harry mate.

Well I send 6 parcels a month, and the shopping and packing them up is enough for me, and I know a few of the other members have sent parcels as well.

I have had a few BFPO Blueys back from the boys as well as e-mails from Wayne, and all say more or less the same thing, that Welfare/Comfort Parcels and contents are well received, and that they appreciate not being forgotten about.

I am looking to do a Christmas Special for the team that replaces Wayne's in late November.
