		+	'''Hallmark November 1997.''' Report by Clive & Marion
		+
		+	Ere, I was just saying to Mrs Gossipbottom in the post office the other day: "Did you know the Pink & Lily has been sold? Well it has, got a fortune for it they did and they are off to Ireland, lucky beggars!"
		+
		+	And so rumours start! If we've been asked once we've been asked a hundred times if we are leaving and the answer is a categoric No!! We are sorry folks but you are lumbered with us for some time to come.
		+
		+	The imagination of the general public never ceases to amaze. So far we have been told that:----
		+
		+	1) We have bought a seaside Hotel in Devon
		+
		+	2) We have bought a fishing Hotel in Scotland
		+
		+	3) We are moving to a B&B in Ireland on the banks of the Blackwater, oh and just as an aside this property has got a pink bathroom suite!!
		+
		+	Much as we would love to be in a position to own and run such businesses it would leave no time for golfing and fishing so I am not considering them!
		+
		+	Enough of rumours lets move to facts.
		+
		+	We do hopefully listen to what people want from their local hostelry and without doubt there is a change in peoples wants and expectations. One such change is to eat later on a Sunday lunchtime. To this end we are now taking orders for lunch up to 3:00pm and will remain open until 4:30 – 5:00pm. The bar will be available for diners during the afternoon but not for casual drinkers. We will be closed on Sunday evenings.
		+
		+	The run up to Christmas seems to get earlier and earlier each year, we had to produce the Christmas menu in early September this year! We are able to cater for parties ranging from two to fifty in numbers and the bookings are now coming in fast and furious. If you are considering a party at the Pink or just want to relax with a couple of friends then ring us quickly to ensure you get the date you want. To whet the appetite the following menu is available from 1st December to Lunchtime 24th December:
		+
		+	'''Pink & Lily Christmas Menu 1997'''
		+
		+	Egg Mayonnaise Salad
		+
		+	Garlic Mushrooms
		+
		+	Prawn & Melon Cocktail
		+
		+	Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese Roulade
		+
		+	Soup of the Day
		+
		+	-
		+
		+	Roast Turkey, Roast Potatoes,
		+
		+	Fresh Vegetables with
		+
		+	Home Made Stuffing & Chipolatas
		+
		+	Roast of the Day
		+
		+	Fillet of Salmon in Horseradish & Dill Sauce
		+
		+	Supreme of Chicken in Cream & Sherry Sauce
		+
		+	Vegetarian – Cashew Nut Roll
		+
		+	-
		+
		+	Traditional Christmas Pudding with Brandy Sauce
		+
		+	Chocolate & Ginger Crunch Tart
		+
		+	Mincemeat Tart
		+
		+	Blackcurrant Sorbet
		+
		+	Cheese & Biscuits
		+
		+	-
		+
		+	Coffee & Mints
		+
		+	£13.95
		+
		+	Finally, we have to thank our quiz team for their gallant effort in this years village quiz. Although the team finished down the order this year, all members were grateful to the quiz master as they now know the names of the four Telly Tubbies!!
		+
		+	Hope to see you soon.

+'''Hallmark May 1998'''   report from Norman Tyler.   Clive and Marion have left, so we won't be getting any more of Clive's humerous write-ups in Hallmark.  Richard and Pauline Moore are in the depths of moving in and told me the following.
 I cannot believe where the past hectic 3 months have gone, but I must say that they have been very enjoyable, and after spending 17 years in our previous pub this move has given Pauline and me a much needed change of scene. I firmly believe you can stay in the same pub far too long and become stale. But of course customers are always worried when a very popular couple such as Clive and Marion leave and I must say it is a testament to their popularity that they are a hard act to follow. I like to think, however, that perhaps customers in our last business said the same thing about us, but that is all in the past and life goes on.

		+	'''Hallmark August 1996.''' Report from Marion & Clive
		+
		+	Our tenth year anniversary celebrations are now complete and we trust that those of you who helped us celebrate enjoyed our BBQ and Jazz Evening. Our thanks to Lol Cooke and his Band. We certainly enjoyed the music.
		+
		+	The painting of the outside of the pub is at last complete but just as you think you’ve cracked it something else comes along. My sincere thanks to those customers who were so understanding when we had the torrential rain a couple of weeks back. As the rain came pouring in the bottom bar as a result of a blocked downpipe, one customer was heard to say “what a unique way of watering down the beer!”
		+
		+	Congratulations to Steve Glasgow, Graham Potter, Mathew Peak and Wally Adams who, along with myself, made up the “Pink Panters” and ran the Wycombe half marathon. All entrants finished the race, some in better health than others. However, the most important point is that we managed to raise 1000 pounds for the South Bucks Hospice. A big thank you to all those that dug deep into their pockets and sponsored us.
		+
		+	I am glad to report that the travelling son has returned to the fold albeit two stone lighter than when he went away. Anyone who is desperate to lose weight can contact Barry behind the bar, where expert advice will be given!!!
		+
		+	The summer holiday period is now upon us once again and to all our customers we hope you have an enjoyable and safe vacation. We of course have our student helpers back for the holidays but come September we will be looking for additional staff. If any of our readers are looking for work later in the year then please contact Marion at the pub.
		+
		+	Shock and horror abounded on my return from Ireland this year when I failed miserably to catch the usual quota of the elusive salmon. My excuse was that the water was too wet! However, more and more anglers seem to be visiting the pub and the thought struck me that perhaps we could have a regular get together. Experiences of different venues and techniques could be shared and perhaps a few days out together could be arranged. If anyone is interested, please contact me with your ideas.
		+
		+	That’s it for this issue so once again enjoy the holiday season and for the couch potatoes don’t forget the crib and domino season is nearly on us!

		+	'''Hallmark March 1996'''. Report by Clive Mason
		+
		+	In the words of Victor Meldrew “I don't believe it", on 1st of July we will have been at the pink for a decade. How time flies when you are enjoying yourself and that is just what Marion & I have done – enjoyed it!
		+
		+	I remember when we had been here but two years and I went down to the brothers Lester for our weekly barter. Tomatoes and potatoes in exchange for light ales. Eric asked how long we had been at the Pink, two years was the reply. In that droll voice the comment came back "Only another 23 years and you'll be a local!" Well, we're two fifths of the way there!
		+
		+	To avoid conflict with that fine band of people ‘Lacey Green Productions’ we anticipate a bit of a party on Saturday 30th June. Lets pray for fine weather.
		+
		+	History has been made this year in that the Crib and Domino teams have actually won a team trophy – The Great Hampden Team Knockout Cup. Congratulations to the team. Next year the league and cup double! The teams are always looking for up and coming stars, so rather than sit in watching the goggle box next winter come and enjoy a fun night out and sign on.
		+
		+	For the more energetic of you we are again entering a team for the Wycombe Half Marathon. Just four of us last year managed to raise £1,250 for the Macmillan Nurses. This year we are hoping to field a team of twelve and monies raised will be going to the South Bucks Hospice. If you don't feel up to the thirteen miles then please help us - by sponsoring a runner. Our aim this year is to beat the 2 hour time,
		+
		+	As some of you may have noticed we have had a paint problem on the outside of the building. I am glad to report that the problem has now been identified and a solution found. With a fair wind, by the time you read this the pub should be looking radiant with its new (slightly different shade of} pink coat. A vote of thanks to Paul Forster and Ted for the understanding and help given.
		+
		+	I can report from Thailand that the licence’s offspring has so far managed to survive six weeks of backpacking, which has come as somewhat of a surprise as he failed to make it home from the Village Hall after the sports club race night! Rumour has it that so far he has white water rafted, survived 4 days in the Jungle on the back of an elephant, lost his visa card and driven a moped through a shop’s air conditioning unit! He does however reliably inform me that he will be home for Phillip Dell's Magical Birthday! (Sorry Phill).
		+
		+	Whilst writing this little article \| received a very sad phone call informing me of the death of Ken Fletcher. As landlord of the Pink for more than 26 years \| am sure that most of the readers will have come into contact with Ken at some point in their time in Lacey Green. Both Ken and Ciss were very kind to Marion & when we first arrived at the pub and continued as customers until ill health prevented them from venturing out. Our sincere sympathy to Ciss, family and friends. We have lost a friend and character.
		+
		+	Finally, may we thank you for your custom and friendship over the last decade and we look forward to the challenges and fun times in the next one.
