September Meeting

President Sue Dixon welcomed everyone back after the summer break quickly going through the 'admin' part of the meeting.  September 'babies' received their cards from Jean Philip and special congratulations were given to Brenda and Pam for their recent Diamond and Pearl Wedding Anniversaries.  Sybil got us up-to-date with forthcoming activities and reminded us to sign up where necessary.  Unfortunately our expected talk from Adrian Eggleston on D.N.A did not take place but the committee had managed to get a speaker at short notice.

 

Sue and Sarah

Sarah McCreton, a qualified Solicitor, came to talk  to us on the sensitive issue of 'Protecting our Assets' - and as she started her informative presentation on a variety of issues, many of us soon realised that it was something we needed to seriously think about.   Sarah explained many legal terms to us without being patronising  and willingly answered individual questions over coffee and refreshments.  Linda Simpson gave the Vote of Thanks to Sarah for providing us with 'food for thought'.

Next months meeting is the AGM/Quiz and Pie and Pea Supper and members were asked to think about joining the committee if they felt it was something they could do.
