In July it was confirmed
that several people had agreed to help with some of the tasks Mary Mears had
been carrying out and that this meant she was able to take on the President’s
job as hoped.
The business matters
included the cancellation of the Group business meeting on the 25th
of July and some more detail on the Group Social meeting on the 26th
of September. There would be a light supper and a speaker for £3.50 a head and
members were asked to think about whether they were able to help or just
attend.
The recent lunch in the Bell
had been well attended and Mary reminded members this was a first Friday
regular occasion which people could just drop in to if they were free. It was
noted the monthly coffee morning would not take place in August but the lunch
would. We were also looking ahead to the President’s evening social in the Hall
on August 13th, most had signed up to say what they were bringing,
if you still need to, please let Mary or Barbara know before the 13th.
The programme planning
meeting had been arranged for Monday 15th of October. If you have
any ideas for speakers etc. do either go along to the meeting or let a
committee member know beforehand.
We then had a talk from ex-nurse Lottie Dale who has been selling Aloe Vera products for several years.
She explained all about the types and formats available and about many of the
uses they have. We were able to sample both the cream, which can help aching
joints and the liquids which can help with all sorts of situations including
improving your immune and digestive systems.
Our next meeting will be Monday
10th September at 7.30pm with a talk about English Country Cheeses,
including a tasting!
