EMP Centenary Bash
~ 1913 - 2013 ~
What's it all about?
This year marks 100 years since Enid Mary Priest was born. If it weren't for her, most of us wouldn't be alive today, and the rest wouldn't have a reason to be here.
So what better excuse for a party? It'll be a low-key, relaxed affair, like the lady herself, with food, maybe some games, and a walk to the stile to pay our respects.
