Seasonal final arrangements
were being made in November for the Christmas meal on the 2nd Dec
with a record 30 members signed up and there was still just time to bring some
shoe box items for the YMCA. The business items also included information about
the Frome Group Social at 7.30 in Frome on Monday 16th December and
two lunches, one at Wells golf club with author Nicola Pryce on 29th November
and a Social History lunch on 11th February in Trull near Taunton.
We are collecting Christmas
items for the Frome Food Bank – members who haven’t already donated may like to
bring items to our December meeting.
Members then spent the rest
of the evening making ribbon trees under the tuition of Karen, one of our
members and her helpers. The pieces of ribbon had all been pre-cut for us and
counted into small packs with the right numbers needed for each stage. They had
to be atttached to a polystyrene cone with the tiny pins provided in several
layers with a star available to put on the top to finish it off. The ribbon had
come in different shades and patterns, mainly red, green and silver so there
was a great variety of finished trees. The room was fairly quiet while everyone
concentrated on what they were doing and all who took part went home with an
attractive table decoration.
