Chairperson: Stephanie Hubbard
The start of a new year and
the first signs of Spring are on their way with the glimpse of bulbs peeping
through the wet soil. I actually saw my
first daffodil in bloom this week, so I feel pleased that we are getting a
little closer to lighter nights and the warmer weather. I would like to thank everyone who attended the recent planning meeting, and also a big
thank you to all those who hosted an event on the last programme.
The planning meeting is
always a very important date on the quarterly programme as the group is member
driven. Without members suggesting and
hosting the events, the group would not be a success so please put the
Another date for your diary
is the Brownsea Open Air Theatre. The
play this year is Hamlet and the performance is on Friday 24 July. Payment for tickets needs to be with Alison
by 9 March at the latest. This is a very
popular event so please contact Alison as soon as possible to avoid
disappointment. Please see the
programme for more details.
The group’s website continues
to be popular with our members who are able to access it. We have photographs of some of the previous
events and all the information of the current programme. For confidentiality reasons the telephone
numbers have been removed from the programme but if you are interested in an
event and have lost your programme, please contact me here for more
information.
