Unfortunately we have to say a TEMPORARY farewell to Kathleen Carruthers our extremely competent Treasurer. Kathleen and her husband Sandy volunteered to look after their gorgeous little grandson. I have not met the little chap but looking at his photographs Kathleen and Sandy are surely in for a lively and extremely rewarding time. Kathleen assures us that she will be back as often as she can but obviously cannot continue in the demanding role of Treasurer. Sandy will continue to design and print all our posters and tickets – for that we are very grateful. Anne Davies has kindly offered to take over the role of Treasurer for the coming year,

I hope that you have all enjoyed the holiday. Perhaps you made some new friends and could invite them to join us on the first and third Wednesday of each month. All will be warmly welcomed especially if they enjoy washing up after our afternoon cuppa! We do need some additional volunteers for the Tea Rota this year so please don’t be shy in offering your services.

Our first meeting of the year is on Wednesday 6th September 2006 when we shall be delighted to welcome the Rev. Alistair Jessamine. A Russian Visit is the title of his talk and hopefully members of the Congregation who accompanied the minister to Russia  last year will take the opportunity to join us for the afternoon.

As you are aware the cost of petrol keeps increasing. We are finding that  more of our  visiting speakers  are  requesting remuneration in excess of that we have previously offered. Sorry about this Ladies but we shall have to ask you for a yearly membership subscription of £5. Weekly contributions will remain at 50p for members - coffee/tea and biscuits included. We thought you would appreciate advance warning of this increase, as we know you try to have the correct sum of money to assist the Treasurer with her accounts.

We are looking forward to meeting friends old and new.
