Back to normal after
Christmas with subscription payments due and our raffle prizes for the year to
hand in. We were pleased to hear Shelagh had joined the committee and to
receive our programmes with details of forthcoming meetings. Notice was given
of the annual litter pick on Sat March 5th and the group meeting at Nunney on
Wed March 23rd. With the latter for an entry fee of £3.50 you will
be able to listen to a talk from the BBC’s Sara Jane Bungay and enjoy some
light refreshments.
Caroline had delivered the
sheets etc. for the women’s refuge and they would like even more, anything for
single size beds including duvets and pillowslips as well as sheets would be
appreciated. Finally Jan asked that we let her know of any ideas for the 2017
programme planning meeting in September well in advance and also any ideas for
summer evening outings this year.
Our speaker, Lynn, from
Happy Landings showed us a lot of pictures of the animals they look after and
also brought along one of the dogs to the meeting. The charity is based at
Hillcroft Farm in Pylle and serves as both a rescue centre and a kennels and
cattery. That said they also take in a great variety of other animals from
chickens to pigs and ferrets. They are currently fundraising to have new
kennels built so any donations would be very welcome.
Our meeting in February is
on Monday 8th at 7.30pm when we will be able to enjoy “Garden views
set to music”.
