Thirteen years ago, MASHhad a change in leadership. Itwas time for another freshpush forward - Carol Searlebecame the new ChiefExecutive, I retired asChairperson, and I wasdelighted to accept the offerof a new position as Patron,with Joan Chettleburgh as thenew Chairperson of the Trust

Board. (Joan has since retired asChairperson and Heather Allan has heldthe position as Chairperson since 2009).

Under Carol’s leadership, the centralphilosophy of support for the self-development of its people were embodiedin the mission statement: “WorkingTogether to Achieve Great Lives”.

Today, we are once again in a period ofrapid change. On 5 March 2018, DavidRobinson, ex-Chief Operating Officer forTe Papa Tongarewa (Museum of NewZealand), became our Chief ExecutiveOfficer following Carol’s retirement.

From September onwards, myinvolvement with the people of MASHmarkedly increases. There is the AnnualGeneral Meeting in late September withthe presentation of the Innovation andother Awards. Then, in December, thejudging of the Christmas decorationscompetition. This gives me a usefulglimpse into the many and various waysthat groups of people, and staff, worktogether in creative ways. Everyone knowsby now that the Judge (me) reallyappreciates the quirky creations!. Then, onFriday 7 December, “Nan’s barbecue” takesoff!! It seems to get bigger and betterevery year. Many thanks to the teams from

Head Office who do much of the work toensure its success. My garden staff and Iare already working on creating the bestenvironment in which we can all have fun.(Note, I am not responsible for theweather!).

Next in this report, I am reminded that in2020, we will be celebrating our 30thbirthday – a real milestone for anorganisation! We began in 1989 with fivehigh level people, two houses, oneconvenor, three part-time staff and in 1990,incorporated as a (small) Trust Board. Wehave expanded signficantly since.

MASH continues to be an excitingorganisation and I hope that the Ministry’spolicy “Enabling Good Lives” has someeffect on the development of newinitiatives for people with disabilities. I amconvinced that progress in this area will bedifficult unless communities really believein the concepts of a supportiveenvironment which enables people withlong term disabilities to thrive. Whilenimbyism is still around (and it is), forwardmomentum in some areas will be slow andthe press will continue to headline theneed for change.

Finally, let’s make 2019 a flagship year forexperimentation, fun and laughter!Congratulations to you all, the people, thestaff and the Trust Board members. I am soproud of the journey we have travelledthus far.

AYEAROFCHANGE

PATRON’S REPORT



It is my pleasure to present theAnnual Report for the 2017-2018 financial year, and indoing so I am mindful that theyear has been one ofchallenges, excitement andchanges.

One of the most importantchallenges for the Board thisyear was to find a replacementChief Executive Officer. Carol

Searle had tendered her resignation buthad agreed to stay with MASH until anappointment had been made. Late in 2017,the Board engaged recruitmentconsultants, Jackson Stone to assist in theemployment process. The Board placedmuch importance on the successfulapplicant being able to demonstratestrong leadership, financial skills and anability to assimilate into the culture of theorganisation. After a very thoroughprocess, the Board was pleased to appointDavid Robinson to the position. Since hisappointment Dave has spent considerabletime meeting with staff, stakeholders andpeople within MASH services.

MASH is fortunate to have staff involved atboth Regional and National levels,addressing areas of Government changefor people with disabilities. Two majorissues have been Pay Equity and thepending introduction of Enabling GoodLives.

Pay Equity initially only benefitted some ofour staff. The Government belatedlyaccepted that all staff caring for peoplewith disabilities should be covered andbackdated the claim to 1 July 2017. This hasbeen a positive outcome for staff.

MASH continues to be represented on theoversight group for the introduction ofEnabling Good Lives within the MidCentralDistrict Health Board region. The Ministry

of Health had delayed the introduction ofthis until October 2018. The Board remainsconfident that this new delivery of servicealigns with the values and culture of MASHand will provide exciting opportunities forthe organisation. Through all the changesthat are taking place, staff continue to doan amazing job and remain committed tostrive for continuing quality improvement!

In view of all the changes that were takingplace during the year, the Board took aconservative approach in respect of theTrust’s finances. Indications are that ourefforts have achieved a modest surplus forthe year.

Earlier this year the Board visited TeRangimarie Marae and formallyrecognised the tāngata whenua (thepeople of the land) by appointing WiremuTe Awe Awe as the kaumātua for MASH.This appointment was well overdue. Also,at the same time (and in order to enhanceour governance responsibility to Māori)Trieste Te Awe Awe was appointed to theTrust Board.

This year MASH once again celebrated“MASH Has Got Talent”. It was a day of funand laughter with people demonstratingcourage and amazing talent. The dayincluded singing, music, dance, comedy,poetry and art and all participantsacquitted themselves well.

In conclusion, I wish to thank my fellowTrustees for their support and commitmentto the organisation during what has been achallenging year.

AYEARWITHCHALLENGES,EXCITEMENTANDCHANGES

CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT


2017/2018 has marked the startof my tenure with MASH. Ihave been made to feel verywelcome by all and haveenjoyed meeting many of thepeople that make MASH whatit is.

I am continually impressed andhumbled when I see what ishappening throughout the

Trust and the amazing work that ourpeople are doing.

In this Annual Report we have tried tocapture a snapshot of the wide array ofaccomplishments that our MASH whānauhave achieved throughout the year. Each ofthese stories not only illustrates the talentthat our people have but exemplifies thedeep commitment of all to our missionstatement: “Working Together to AchieveGreat Lives”.

The 2017/18 year continues to signalchange and evolution through theorganization and through the HealthSector more broadly. The implementationof Enabling Good Lives, and thetransformation of the Disability SupportSector, is a positive step forward forpeople we support and is well aligned withour culture at MASH. Equally, the newGovernments’ focus on improving ourMental Health system, particularly throughthe ongoing work of the Mental HealthInquiry, will likely put in place bettersystems and resources to improveoutcomes for our community. In both,MASH has been heavily involved at a local,regional and national level in bringing thecommunity-based and practical knowledgeof the issues to the table, to help shapenational policy in these areas.

Our relationships with our colleagues andpartners across the country have also been

instrumental in being able to do the thingsthat we do. The work that we haveundertaken with MidCentral, Hawkes Bayand Capital and Coast DHBs have allenabled innovations and improvements inthe services we provide.

Likewise, the support of the PalmerstonNorth City Council has enabled us tocontinue to provide supportedaccommodation to many and, inpartnership with the LUCK Trust, networksand social connections through the LUCKVenue in Palmerston North. There aresimply too many organisations thatsupport us to mention but I acknowledgeand thank you all.

None of these things could have beenpossible without the hard work of our staffand people. With this in mind I would liketo acknowledge my predecessor, CarolSearle, who retired this year after 13 yearsat the helm, and who was CEO for themajority of the 2017/18 year. Similarly, Iwould like to thank the Board and theSenior Leadership Team who have not onlyprovided me with significant support inwelcoming me to MASH, but have shownthe passion, expertise and leadership forthe Trust to achieve what it has.

Finally, to the people, families and whānauwe support thank you for allowing us towalk alongside you and for continuing toinspire us all.

OUR MISSION

OUR VALUES1. Build open RELATIONSHIPS based on honesty and respect2. COMMUNICATE with an openmind and heart3. Recognise and promote the MANA and strengths of each individual4. Take OPPORTUNITIES to learn and grow together5. BELIEVE that together we will make a difference6. Make FUN a goal

Working Together To Achieve Great Lives

MASH is an organisation all about its people. There were a hugenumber of successes during the year for those that we support, theirwhānau, our staff and our sector partners.The following stories celebrate just some of those that align with ourMASH values.

OUR STORIES


RELATIONSHIPSBuild open RELATIONSHIPS based on honesty and respectHaving the ability to listen to the needs of our consumers and peers and tocommunicate this through words or actions; someone who shows empathyand understanding and can work together to appreciate the benefits ofopen communication; making a person’s life more manageable andenjoyable through these actions.


As part of on-going community services,MASH has been working with TararuaCollege to provide students withopportunities to thrive and build strongfutures based on the right principles.

One of these opportunities is a Vexrobotics club. It was launched last yearwhere students from different years andbackgrounds came together tocollaboratively build and code robots,using several sensors, motors and variousstructural components. Vex roboticsproved very successful during its first yearand returned positive results from all thestudents who participated.

As a result, over the course of the year itwas observed that students who werenormally shy and quiet, were activelyworking with other students to build andprogramme their robots andwere eager to engage.

The students also displayed anincrease in relationshipbuilding skills and willingnessto spend more time with theirpeers in a healthy and safeenvironment. Such a positivechange in the students thoughtprocesses has proven that fun

and engaging activities are more likely toimprove social skills as well as allowingstudents to engage in positive activitesthat will benefit their lives.

Overall, the robotics club has increasedthe students’ self-confidence andrelationship building skills, which has alsohad a positive effect on their decision-making abilities. It has also encouragedtheir learning in robotics.

Due to the success of the programmefrom its first year, the robotics programmeis happening again this year with acombination of students from last year’sgroup and new students. The focus thisyear is having the students create uniquecompetition-ready robots that willcompete against each other.

One of Friendship Services success storieshas been the natural, mutual friendshipbetween Viv, Kevan, Harlen and Jess.Harlen and Jess stepped into Viv’s Kitchenlocated in Sanson nearly three years ago.They were both warmly welcomed fromweek one. Each fortnight that Harlen andJess visited, a stronger connection andfriendship grew.

Over the last couple of years Viv and Kevhave become more and more fond ofHarlen and Jess, and vice versa. Theexcitement that Harlen shows on his driveout to them is something no words candescribe. You must see it and feel it - it’sbeautiful! Viv makes a significant effort forthem both, whether it’s an Easter orChristmas celebration, but especially whenit’s Harlen’s Birthday.

Viv bakes Harlen a birthday cake and allthe staff come from the kitchen to singHappy Birthday to him.

Even though they run a busy café, they taketime to pull up a seat and spend a goodhour with Harlen and Jess each time theyvisit. They have fun, laugh and chat awayand ensure that Harlen and Jess know howmuch they mean to them.

Harlen has been given the opportunity tohelp make pies, their famous cream horns,and even use the cash register during hisvisits. He has gained more social inclusion,and many of the regular patrons have gotto know him well and will spend timechatting to him.

Viv and Kevan say how much they lookforward to Harlen and Jess’s visits andhow much they have enriched their lives aswell. A huge heartfelt thank you goes outto these two very special people!

The door is always open while we arecooking and sometimes we have aroundfive people in the kitchen, helping andchatting amongst themselves. Thisbecomes a great opportunity for people toget together, socialize and learn new skills.

It is even more enjoyable to share in theefforts from our cooking lesson!

Approximately 300 people came andjoined in the festive day, great food andmusic. Sonja and the team did a fantasticjob, setting up and creating beautiful kaiand memories. Nan had a bit of a talk withthe weather man who dialled up yetanother perfect day. The strength of Nan’smana and matauranga (knowledge)continues to be a driving force in all thatwe do. From the time of MASH’s inceptionNan has fought for equity and inclusion forall. Nan’s Christmas BBQ is a time ofwhānaungatanga, a time when Nanconnects us to aroha in its purest form.Nan Kinross – he mana wahine.


Kipa Arapere joined the MASH whānau inthe role of Pou Tikanga earlier this year. Itwas identified by the three Matai at MASHto have the Ava ole feiloaiga (welcomingceremony) as a sign of respect andacknowledgement of the mana andmatauranga that Kipa brings with him.

OPPORTUNITIESTake OPPORTUNITIES to learn and grow togetherSomeone who will take the opportunity to go the extra mile in their workor look for ways to undertake extra learning and development;taking opportunities from day-to-day and using them to grow;spending time to give extra support, or working together on a project thatwill encourage learning and the growth of the individual or theorganisation.

With over 10 years ofemployment at MASH Trustunder my belt, I can easilyremember the phrase ‘one daywhen we have an LMS (aLearning Management System)’said at most managementmeetings. That all changed on 10

July 2018, when Te Arapiki was launched.

As ICT Manager I was seconded to take upthe role of Project Leader for the Learningand Development Team with the objectiveof developing a more effective andstreamlined learning management system.This was a challenge as it was a servicewith processes I was unfamiliar with.

Core to the project was centralising courseinformation and learning records from allcorners of MASH Trust. Te Arapiki hasachieved this by improving the ability ofstaff to easily book courses online, viewcourses they have completed, and toaccess their learning records. To add to its

success the project came in on time andunder budget.

As we have now implemented Te Arapiki, itis ‘business as usual’ with Sarah Francis,Learning and Development Advisor,managing its day-to-day functions.

I am very proud to have been able to leadsuch an exciting project! It involved a lot ofhard work and extensive consultation withstaff from all services, teams and also withknowledge experts.

I enjoyed the experience given to me andwould like to thank the Board and SeniorLeadership Team for the opportunity tomanage and develop this project.

Te Arapiki is only at the start of its journeyof what it can do, and I can’t wait to seewhat develops in the future.

I hope another opportunity like this comesagain soon.

TEARAPIKI, THEJOURNEYOFPERSONALDEVELOPMENT

Alex and Rangi successfully completed a12-week forestry course through TeWānanga o Aotearoa under their Umangaprogramme.

The programmes can help people gainexperience and qualifications needed foryour chosen career. The courses are taughtby experienced people in a particularlyindustry and involves hand-on training.

Both men gained a lot of knowledge, aswell as having heaps of fun. Theyespecially enjoyed learning about usingchainsaws.

LEARNINGNEWSKILLS

February 2016, I asked if I could play in abasketball team. I was good at shooting,dribbling, you name it I was good at it! Iwas a one-person basketball scoringmachine.

The team who support me found me ateam to play for. “Havoc” was their name,and man this team was made for me. Icould create “Havoc” on the court. I startedpractising with them. I soon learnt that tobe a good player at all positions on thecourt and being a good team player weretwo different things. I learnt that we were ateam first and to respect it. Trust andfriends were just as important, andbelieving in each other on and off the courtwas one of the best things I took out of theyear.

The name “Havoc”, while it was just aname that went with Horowhenua, it didn’tstop me from trying to live up to the namethough.

2016 was a good year for learning as aperson and a team player, it was hard witha lot of sweat, and sometimes tears made

its way on the court, and that was just atpractice.

In May 2016 my first tournament finallyarrived - what we as a team had beenworking so hard for over the last threemonths. I was excited only to find it wascancelled because of a measles outbreak -really measles?!

In June 2016, we made it to a tournament inPalmerston North. We played well with apodium finish, winning bronze. Just like inour last tournament of the year in Otakianother third - it was a good year! Wefinished off the year with a fun skills day inPorirua where all the lower North Islandteams attended, it was great to catch upwith some of the opposition on a fun day.

In 2017, the team that support me won theMASH excellence award for “Believe”.What a great achievement. They havehelped me to grow and develop not onlyas a player, but also as a team player withwords like believe, respect, trust andfriendship at the fore of basketballtraining. At our games, the coaches and

managers created a team culture andstandard that we all had to aspire to keep.I was told if I kept up the good work Icould make the Horowhenua/Kapiti repteam and represent the region at thenational summer Olympic games atKilbirnie - that was a goal I was keen on.

We started the season off with anotherthird place at Porirua. I was selected toplay for Kapiti/Horowhenua at a regionaltournament in Palmerston North. Weplayed very hard as a team, and wonsilver.

Our coach was pleased with a great result.More exciting was being named as Playerof the Tournament. Everyone was veryproud of me. My teammates said I playedan outstanding tournament (now to be fairit did make my head a little larger, but Iwas informed that would be okay for ashort while).

My next tournament was back with theHorowhenua Havoc where we finally brokethrough “Gold at Otaki”. It was an amazingfeeling to be a winner. Not only for myselfbut also as a team. I had made some greatmates and to share this with them wasawesome.

At the end of year awards, I was selectedby my coaches and managers as thereceipient of the Fair Player trophy. Wowthat was big! I felt very honoured.

The last tournament of the year for 2017was the National Summer Olympic Games.

Representing Horowhenua/Kapiti I playedover four gruelling days of intensebasketball at the highest level.

Our team played so well we won gold.What an amazing achievement!. Our

coaches, managers and supporters wereso proud of us! We were so excited toreceive our gold medals. It’s a day I willnever forget!

This year I have been selected to captainthe Havoc team. I feel very honoured andbelieve that my attitude and dedication tothe team is key to being captain. We camefifth in our first tournament of the year inPalmerston North.

Our next big assignment is a tournamentin New Plymouth. As it’s too far to travelevery day, the team will be staying in amotel. This is the first tournament that Iwill be staying away at.

I am very excited about spending timetravelling and staying at a motel with myteammates. It will be a new experience.

I will carry on with my journey of believingnot only in myself but also my team matesand the people who support me whowithout all this, would not have beenpossible.

Cheers - Blair


BELIEVEBELIEVE that together we will make a differenceA person who believes they can make a difference – no matter what; someonewho is capable of instilling belief in someone so that they can achieveaspirations or personal milestones; a positive attitude that shines throughadversity or overcomes the barriers that are put in front of us.


On the 9th of July 2009, Lynley from KapitiLiving Plus set a goal to go on a boatcruise.

Needing to use a wheelchair has limitedLynley’s ability to go on cruises with herfamily in the past, so she desperatelywanted this opportunity for a “cruise and abeer”.

Every year Lynley repeated her goal, so in2015, the Living Plus staff supported Lynleyto establish “Lynley’s Living Plus” - a shopbased in Kapiti Living Plus specifically tofundraise for her and five of her friendswho face similar limitations to go on acruise. It was estimated it would costaround $1000, including the additionalcost for an upgrade to Club Class (thefancy part of the boat where people caneat and drink during the sailing).

Items for sale included painted river rocks,woven flax flowers, knitted and sewnitems, and other creative crafts. Everyoneat Living Plus was involved in the processcollecting items, painting and constructing.

Lynley wrote out every receipt forpurchases.

Former CEO Carol Searle even received apainted rock from the team when she leftin February!

The team finally hit their target in February2018, and the trip is set to go ahead inFebruary or March 2019.

An awesome story of Mana, Fun,Opportunities and BELIEVE!

LYNLEY’SLIVINGPLUS


The quest for Argentina started manymonths before the actual dates of the trip.Once the seed was planted, theopportunity for Peter and Lewey to be partof an International Tae Kwon DoTournament 2018 in Argentina was toomuch to pass up on.

Very few people get the opportunity torepresent their country overseas and bepart of a larger touring group. It was nevera question of maybe, it was always a ‘weare going!’

Through their belief this was going tohappen - the support network around themwas on board, and the thought had nowturned into reality.

It was a massive group effort from families,caregivers, friends, the broader communityand the Tae Kwon Do Federation.

Fundraising became a huge drive. The goalwas $125,000 to pay for the athletes’flights and accommodation. So there weremonths of organising and planning eventsto raise the funds including raffles, quiznights, demonstrations at local events,sausage sizzles, Hāngī, and gettingsponsorships from local businesses.

All the athletes were expected toparticipate and contribute so it was a hugecommitment. Giving of their time for extratraining during the week and on weekendsto get patterns down set was another hugecommitment while being actively involvedin the fundraising events. Tapping intotheir community connections forassistance, Peter and Lewey receivedfantastic support. The places which theyworked (Mr Apple and the Garden Depot)made extra efforts to ensure they soldplenty of tickets.

The Disability Resource Centre which bothmen attend donated to each of them a$500 sponsorship. MASH Trust gifted twoRag and Bone Man concert tickets to raffleand the MASH staff canvased businessesfor potential sponsorship. The men’sfamilies gave items for garage sales, just tomention a small portion of the effort fromeveryone.

Through their fundraising they met alot ofnew people and formed new relationships.They became involved in activities theypreviously may not have, like performingat the Napier City Street Festival!. Theexperience of performing in front of largecrowds, talking about their upcoming tripto Argentina certainly increased theirconfidence.

There were of course some hurdles toovercome along the way as life seemed tobe consumed by Tae Kwon Do. Thefrustrations of not getting the patternsright, understanding the need for all thefundraising, trip preparations,vaccinations, meeting timeframes - theywere all integral to the planning.

A week out, Peter’s Dad hurt his knee whiletramping and was unable to travel. Itmeant quickly sourcing another supportperson.

BELIEVE

THEQUESTFORARGENTINA


Luckily another support person was foundand with some quick coaching, tips and asupport booklet, they were ready toexperience Argentina.

Counting the days, the growing excitementand permanent smiles on their facesincreased as they got nearer to the event.Peter and Lewey displayed so muchconfidence and anticipation, both menbelieving they could handle all that was infront of them.

Funnily, it was those not travelling thatwere more nervous! We were worryingabout the duration of the plane trip, the jetlag, being in a foreign country, training ,the competition, exploring a new country -not Peter and Lewey.

Not only did they compete on theInternational circuit, they were able toexperience the Argentinian culture. Theysampled different types of food andbeverages visiting a gaucho ranch andhaving a traditional barbeque lunch, wentLatin American dancing, took a river cruiseacross the border to a Uruguay village,looked at the various historical architectureand churches of Buenos Aires, andpurchased plenty of souvenir T-shirts toremember the trip!

The icing on the cake was that both Peterand Lewey won three medals each at thetournament. A stellar effort from themboth!

A documentary has also been made byHub TV about their journey to Argentinaand the tournament. Upon their return toNapier, they were also featured on theevening news. What a massive feat forthese high achievers!

There are many photos and videos of Peterand Lewey with competitors from othercountries and of the competition. Thefriendships forged and experience gainedby competing are memories they willremain with them forever.

This experience has shown the positivebelief they both had in themselves fromthe outset. They are extremely proud andrightfully so, to share with everyone whatthey have accomplished.

Well done - Peter and Lewey!Congratulations!!

THE ‘WALKINGTALL2018’GROUPATWAITAREREFORESTEVENT

A ‘MEN’SONLY’DAYOFFUNThe men at Ribbonwood enjoy gettingtogether as a group.

Throughout the year they have plannedand participated in a number of differentactivities including bowling, mini-putt,lunch outings and a pool competition.

The most recent activity was a day out.This was planned for a Sunday so thateveryone could attend.

The group drove to Days Bay for go-karting, an activity many had never done,and others, not for many years. The daywas finished by a fish and chip lunch.

The ‘Walk Tall 2018’ group joined 1600other walkers in the 10km walk atWaitarere Forest this year.

There was a lot of prep leading up to theevent with weekly walks that includedexploring different tracks and pathsaround the mighty Manawatu. LUCKcatered the event with delicious packedlunches and fresh fruit. There were lots of

Mihi atu ki a koutou ngā rangatira o teroopu MASH mo ngā manaakitanga ngāAroha e homai ana Koutou Ki a mātou,ngā Whaiora o tēnei Kaupapa.

The inspiration for us choosing to unitetogether as the “Monarchs” (Te Monarchs)was that we saw the passion for musicand art we all have, and the healing thatcan be done through this method in ourrecovery, alongside the tools we have alsoembraced in the modules we have beenlearning at MASH in the Hawkes Bay.

We chose the song “Rehab” which is asong from the late Amy Winehouse, whoalso struggled with addiction.Unfortunately, she was unable to findherself through it, so the world lostanother great artist. As we have beenhealing, we decided to pay tribute to Amyand all existing addicts and play ourrecovery version of “rehab”. Thank You forlistening

-Te Monarchs

CHORUSTried to make us go to rehab

We said No, No, No!!Yes, we’ve been black,But when we come backYou’ll know, know, know

That we were worth the timeAnd our using is a life crime,Got to get ourselves to rehab

It’s time to Go, Go, Go!

Verse 1We used to be at home all day

Wasting our time, using our lives awayBut there’s something, something –

You could teach here,We can’t learn from ‘Mr lead us astray’

We gotta get a lot in classThat we know it don’t come in a shot glass

CHORUS

Verse 2Pam said ‘why do you think you’re here?’Jess said ‘ you’ve got nothing to fear’

Mike said “you’re not going to go crazy- you don’talways need addiction here

They said that ‘you need a rest, you’re here to healand feel your best’

CHORUS

Verse 3We don’t ever want to use again

Get back to our lives –And be our own best friends

We’re not gonna spend ten weeks wasting time-‘cause we’re on the mend, and its not our pride

It’s just till all these fearsAnd tears have dried

CHORUS

SEALCOASTSAFARI

ENJOYINGTHEMUSICI went to the Ledge Bar - it used to becalled Celbies in Porirua. I went with MASHStaff member Darrin.

I enjoyed Dance Exponents songs “SayGoodbye Even though I am Blue”, and“Victoria”. We stood at a table and drankRaspberry and Coke during the concert. Iwould have liked to have had a beer, butyou don’t need to have a drink to have fun- I still danced.

I wanted to get Jordan Luck’s autograph,but he was busy drinking red wine, so Iintroduced myself to Brian Bell fromDeadflowers. I asked “Could I have yourautograph?”. He said ‘you sure can’ andsigned my Deadflowers CD. I was reallypleased about that!.

After the concert, Darrin and I broughtsome BhuJa Mix.

Thanks to Darrin for taking me. I amlooking forward to another concert soon.

Going to the concert made me want toenter the ‘MASH Has Got Talent’, it wasfun performing there - thank you.

I am already thinking of doing “Home” byShihad at the next ‘MASH Has Got Talent’.
