Autumn Group Meeting

The Village Group Autumn meeting was held at the Milner Institute at Moore

Members were entertained by Alison Neil portraying the author E Nesbitt in her own one woman drama. The audience were drawn into this amazing lady’s interesting life, quite bohemian in parts and definitely ground breaking in writing books specifically designed for children to read themselves.

October 2023 Main Meeting – Members’ Evening

We returned to our tradition of letting our Committee take a well earned break and a group of members took over for our October meeting. Names were drawn in June and the team of 10 people did a fantastic job in running the meeting and providing a very memorable evening.

Entertainment took the form of a Morris Dancing evening, with singing and dancing by the ‘Earl of Stamford’ Group.

Our members did not need a great deal of encouragement to join them for the last 2 dances, waving our handkerchiefs and banging our sticks like experts!

Helen H took on the role of President and Ann O’B was secretary. The team provided us with delicious refreshments and we had a lovely welcome from the the team, who also organised the raffle.

The competition for ‘a handkerchief’ was won by Janet Paterson.

As ever we were reminded about the many events planned for the next few months, further details are in the October newsletter

September sub-group meetings

After our August break, it was good to be back enjoying our sub-group meetings, though the Walking group took its break during September rather than August.

The Book Club had a complete change and discussed poetry and individual’s favourite poems. The Scrabble group enjoyed a game and a chat and the Craft group met in Susan’s garage rather than the Village Hall as they were working on their November poppy display, which involved rather a lot of red paint! Ann C showed the Art Group how to use the ‘grid’ method to reproduce a picture.

Baking Beauties took a break and went to Pesto at Cabbage Hall for a delicious Afternoon Tea. Click on subgroup name above to see more information, pictures and dates of next meetings.
