This month, over a glass of wine, we took the opportunity to review the format of our meetings. However, it would appear that our members are happy with the way we are doing things here in Abbotts Ann – which is a great relief. Earlier in the evening, we had discussed the two Resolutions which …
April 15 2005 had long been noted on our Calendar, as we were hosting an evening with Angela Baker which included catering for 170 guests. Having met Angela last year, we knew we were in for a fun evening, as she is very willing to share with an audience all the things that have happened …
On the first day of the month our skittles team were in action, unfortunately being beaten in the last round by one skittle, thereby missing the Final. The following day I was off to Denman College in Oxfordshire for a three-day conference about Community Challenges. For those who don’t already know, this is the National …
Thankfully, our speaker for this meeting brought along with her a touch of spring and the promise of summer, which was very welcome as it was a very cold evening with the continuing threat of snow flurries outside. Sara Purkins came armed with examples of her work, which included bouquets of paper flowers including roses …
This month has had an international flavour about it – just the ticket to cheer us all up, during the long month of January. Members came along to the first meeting of 2005, knowing that they would be transported to the other side of the World, if not literally then metaphorically at least, by George …

At the beginning of the month, Muriel Spanholtz organised a visit to the Weyhill Craft units where some of members had a pleasant stroll around the various booths, finishing in the coffee shop for welcome refreshments. This was an opportunity for our members to have a chat and get to know each other better. November …
At the end of last month’s newsletter, I finished with the assertion, that I believed the speaker for our October meeting was a very brave man, in view of the introduction of the green waste collection scheme. Well, in the end, Tom Evison was unable to attend due to some last minute holiday arrangements, but …
It was back in the Village Hall this month, following our summer break, and there was a lot to catch up on, including for us a very successful fete. As usual, we had provided the refreshments. Although it was billed as a mini-fete this year, being organised on a more informal basis, we were just …
We may not have a formal meeting during August, but behind the scenes, the committee have still been very busy. It is about now that we usually start to think about the following year, but we already seem to be ahead of ourselves, with some dates in the diary. We have also discussed a few …
