On 10 November we held our Annual Meeting and turned our attention once again to electing a Committee and President to run our Institute for the coming year. Happily, all but one of our existing Committee members agreed to continue for a further year, and the one member who was to retire, after giving 13 years of dedicated work to our institute, had well earned her retirement and was presented by a grateful membership with a pink rose tree, appropriately named 'Retirement'.
Our current President, Pam Cooper, kindly agreed to remain in post for a further year and so we look forward to another interesting and eventful year, thanks to our Committee's efforts.
We spent the remainder of our evening amusing ourselves with puzzles and a beetle drive, the usual surfeit of wings, legs, eyes, etc and lack of bodies and heads in order to score over our neighbours, accompanied with laughter and chatter.
Next meeting on 8 December we are to be entertained by Patsy /Rose , a singer/guitarist; and all bring our Christmas goodies to eat and enjoy in good company. Hope to see all our members there.
Pam Cooper can be contacted on 01508 491674.
