There had been a good turnout
for the annual litter pick (or Clean for the Queen as it was called this year)
and Barbara thanked all the volunteers, the organisers and cake makers as well
as those who actually picked up the litter. The recent coffee morning and first
Friday lunch had also been well supported.
Forthcoming events included
the next lunch, once again at the Bell, on Friday 1st April, and the
ACWW walk round the quarry on April 24th. This would be followed by
refreshments at Shelagh Haywood’s house.
Even further ahead was the Group social to be held at Beckington on
Tuesday 28th June from 5.30pm. This was to have a “Royal Garden
Party” theme, so a chance to dress up a bit and it would be free to attend.
Finally we learnt that our
next meeting, featuring Bollywood dancing, would be an open one and Mary
encouraged us to all bring a friend along.
Our speaker, author Michael
Malaghan, gave us an amusing account of how he started writing, first as a
journalist on a local newspaper and later creating scripts for children’s TV
programmes as well as writing books for both children and adults.
The April meeting will be on
Monday 11th at 7.30pm, do come along and join in the fun!
