Names were being taken in
February for the coming Roadshow at Beckington and the Hall quiz both in March
and for the theatre outing to the Merlin in Frome on April 6th. Recent social
events included the fundraising breakfast for Denman organised by Barbara and
the Leigh WI birthday party, both hosted by Shelagh. In March we would as usual
have the first Friday lunch in the Bell, the coffee morning on the 6th
and on Saturday the 4th the village litter pick. Looking ahead to
June we are once again running the produce and cake stall at the fete with the
addition of ice creams, in small tubs for convenience. Mary has stepped into
the breach and will be representing us at the February fete meeting.
The breakfast raised over
£50 for Denman but Barbara explained we have been asked to raise even more to
help them to continue to exist and provide such a valuable and enjoyable
educational and social resource. She asked us to think of any ideas we could
use.
Our talk was about Frome FM
radio which you may be able to pick up on 96.6fm. The range is officially 5
miles from Frome but Helen Ottaway, their chair, assured us she was still able
to tune in when she arrived in Leigh. They are on air 24 hours a day with a mix
of music and talk shows. In April they will be moving to the new town hall in
Frome on Christchurch St and Helen encouraged us to drop in and see how things
work, there will be other organisations on site including the Tourist
Information and a café, so well worth making the trip.
Our meeting at 7.30 on March
13th will include a talk called UK Calendar Customs
