CCS 75th Jubilee

Last night Piotr and I attended the CCS 75th Jubilee. That in itself in an oxymoron cos 'jubilee' means every 100 years so unless CCS was 7500 years old then it is not its 75th jubilee! Anyway, we went to the function at the railway station. The taxi company had 5 vans on (they usually only have 1 or 2 wheelchairs vans on at a time)cos everyone seemed to want to go to the railway station at the same time! (Funny that!). The evening went well, we did kareoke, Piotr and I sang "Candle in the Wind", I must say he wasn't the most willing participant, but coercion is one of my specialties! The Patron of CCS was there, her husband was the orthopaedic surgeon who started the "Crippled Children's Society" during the polio epidemic. In 1991 it changed to "CCS" cos you can't say "crippled" now but that really hasn't changed it much. Now they also take people with intellectual disabilities, blindness and other things that don't come under the classic definition of "crippled", so maybe they should come up with a new name altogether?
