President's Message

Christmas Party
Hopefully you are all getting ready to meet face to face on the 16th of December.
You would have received an invoice by now so please confirm that with Elaine Barnard-Brown and specify any special dietary restrictions that you may have.
Peter I have decided that the dress code for the should be smart causal so pyjamas are not allowed.
 
Our Venue
Chris has been in contact with the Shire and at this stage it is unlikely we will be back there until sometime in January.
As we are only have a couple of meetings this year this should not be too much of a problem for us; although there may be restrictions on the use of the kitchen.
 
Meetings
This meeting and the one after i.e. the 10th of December will be our last "normal" meeting for the year.
It has been usual in the past to have the first meeting in the new year as a Breakfast BBQ in the Rotary BBQ shelter on the breach front, on the First Thursday of January i.e. the 7th.
We have time to think about that but will have need a member to coordinate the event.
I am sure we can consume a pile of Bob Alexander's eggs on the occasion.
Hope to see you all on Thursday
 
 

 

 

Carol’s News.
We live opposite a small park and and I was upset recently to see that someone had decided to poison the "pig face" growing there/. The incidence caused me to find our more about this plant that I thought was in fact indigenous to the area

This is what I discovered
