We had a surprise change of speaker as the lady could not come until our September meeting.
Instead, we welcomed Mrs Esme Wilson-Staniforth. She came to entertain us with tales of mystery of long ago. She was excellent for her telling of the tales both in expression and voice.
The first tale was about the Pedlar of Swaffham - a very familiar story, followed by tales of the velveteen rabbit, a riddle about King Arthur, Body and Soul and several others. She finished with an amusing rhyme about "whether you are well or whether you are ill". One of our members asked if she had been an actress in the past but she said no but she had been a teacher. A very enjoyable evening.
We were so sad to learn of Monica Fawcett's sudden death, a peaceful one by all accounts. She was our longest serving member and will be sorely missed.
Our next meeting is on Wednesday 11 September at 7.30pm in the Community Centre when our delayed speaker, Mrs Pauline King, will come and talk about working as a volunteer in a charity shop.
Start collecting your jumble as our next Jumble Sale will be on Saturday 12 October n the morning at the Community Centre. More details next month.
Visitors are always welcome to our meetings and if there are any queries, please contact Veronica Brett, President on 01508 493029 or Lesley Sanders, Secretary on 01508 492155.
