You probably have Richard it's down a side road opposite St Paul's Church in Addlestone

Yes that was a shortcut I used to go home quite often; but the centre up Rudge Rise closed a couple of years ago, they are now based in Walton-on-Thames.
BTW Pete, the snow is still thick on the ground here.

There are only two centres in the Rudge Rise area that I know of, Hare Hill Club ( to be avoided ) and The Samaritans

It's The Samaritans that moved.

I always thought it was an odd place for them - smack in the middle of redneck Addlestone

Cheap rent.

Operating out of a Car Park of a dubious working mans club is a high price to pay for cheap rent Rumour has it the club may be closing - which would be bad as the customers will start drinking elsewhere { shudder }

We actually had a few meetings in the back room of the club; it wasn't too frightening. 
We moved because there was a rumour that the council were going to build in that plot. When we made enquiries they would not confirm, but also would not give us security of tenure longer than six months. It seemed a good idea to move, and the new centre is in a more modern building with slightly better facilities.

Yes I remember the rumours ( which is why the club may be closing ) - I take it you are a Samaritan ? my wife ( before she met me ) had a go at being one ( if that's the correct term ) you / they do very good work

I was, but stopped being active a year ago, after 23 years of it. I do a little bit of tech support and admin for them these days.

Same here in Surrey ( UK ) - really sizeable flakes with little or no traffic to stop it settling.

It is raining here, it reminds me of the Wales.

That's probably the first time Italy has ever reminded someone of Wales!

It certainly wouldn't happen in the Five Nations...

On our current form, Italy'll probably beat us ...

What is 'Five Nations'? Did you understand the soccer Chris or was it all in vain?

What is this 'soccer', of which you speak? Some foolish activity to distract the proletariat, I've no doubt.

Wake up to a warm sunny day and three pictures from my sister in Wales of the snow. I know which place I want to be at. Sorry, but not Wales.

Send some over here to Texas!! So far this year, it snowed for a few hours — just enough to drop 3.5 to 4 inches on the patio furniture.
Seriously, we seem to be getting less and less snow as the years go by. I can remember 6 inches on the pasture, with more on the patio furniture. But this was years ago....

Sure was cold last night! Woke up from my wife's snoring, tongue out of her moth - that's how she is. And believe it or not: There was frost on the tip of her tongue!
