Barbara and I had a most enjoyable and informative day, meeting friends from across the county and hearing about all the great events and opportunities arranged for our delectation this year.
The main speaker was Emma Britton, the BBC Somerset breakfast show presenter - and she was excellent, painting a vivid and very entertaining picture of her life.
The theme was based on the centenary of WW1 and several members had brought along very interesting mementos and letters from that time. We heard some very poignant poetry, learned a little bit about the role played by women at the time in recruiting boys for the front and finished the day singing some songs of the time.
