September 2022

The first meeting after the summer break had many regular faces missing – we hope they were all enjoying an Autumn holiday. Our president gave a tribute to our late Queen, remembering her loyalty and love.

There was an appeal for items for Christmas shoe boxes and for bags to give to refugees fleeing violent relationships; they often come to refuges with nothing but the clothes they stand up in, (toiletries and small items to “fill bags of hope” ).  Good-condition handbags also welcome.

After the business, we all had a glass of bubbly, raising our glasses to the late Queen, remembering her loyal service, and then a toast to our new King.  We sang the National Anthem.

Next, our president showed a slide presentation of the life of Queen Elizabeth II from babyhood to grandmother, showing the highlights of her reign.
