What a busy evening we had
at the May meeting. There were the usual business items, the discussion of the
Resolutions, the election of President, a show and tell session and
refreshments, including savoury nibbles, provided by the committee.
Outings had been enjoyed to
the Rural Life Museum and the Spring Road Show and Barbara encouraged members
to attend one of these interesting shows if they get a chance. Looking ahead
the Frome Group social would be held on Thursday 4th July from 2 to
4pm at Buckland Dinham, your £4 entry charge would include tea and cake and a
chance to try golf croquet, names to be taken at the June meeting. In August we
would have two Leigh events. The belated ACWW walk would take place on Friday 9th
from 2pm and the Presidents evening on Monday 12th from 6pm on the
Rec Field, with another chance to try the golf croquet.
In the Resolutions section
we heard about the decline of bus services in rural areas and the importance of
having smear tests. We had interesting discussions on both topics resulting in
giving Mary the option to decide our vote at the National AGM for the buses but
to vote in favour about promoting the smear test.
The AGM included a review of
the year from Secretary Jan Pattison, presentation of the accounts by Treasurer
Caroline Harris and a short summary of her first year as President from Mary
Mears. We then confirmed committee members for the coming year and voted on our
choice of President which was won by Mary who agreed to stand for another year.
We then had our “show and
tell” session with several members telling us what the object they had brought
in meant to them.
The meeting on June 10th
will have stories from a puppy walker.
