And just like that it is November!

 

2026 is disappearing fast! Is that feeling of time moving faster as we get older actually a reality?  I googled it and yes! It is a real, scientifically studied phenomenon of human perception. That should be a quiz question!

​

Anyway looking back to October we had our Annual Meeting with Pam Kershaw and Lorraine Mead, from HFWI, present to keep us (probably mainly me!) on track and doing everything correctly. Thus, a committee was voted in for next year, if you missed it the list is on the home page with roles, as we have already had our first committee meeting.

​

A big thank you to Laura and Kay, who have stood down from Committee, for all that they have done over the past year and more.

​

We also chose our charity for the next year – Sebby’s Corner. I will speak more about this at the November meeting.

​

Thank you to all those who made cakes/cookies for our Macmillan tea/coffee evening.  A grand total of £200 has now been sent to Macmillan, a thank you to Tonia who organized this.

​

At the time of writing this the Brunch, at the Brunch Barn, on 30th October has not taken place – I am sure the food and the company will be good. Thank you to Sheila for organizing this.

​

Our Christmas Party at the Woodman, 7pm on December 11th has been confirmed and well done to you all for being so amazing at getting your payments in.

​

Which brings us on to our November AMM on the 11th. We will be celebrating our 5th Birthday, not only with a talk on “The Gunpowder Plot” by Gary Fisher (he talked to us about the Bayeux Tapestry last time) but also with cake, sandwiches and perhaps other snacky bits. The WhatsApp poll indicates that 45 of you will be attending the evening so let us hope that it goes with a bang!
