We began our meeting with a presentation to two young carers and their sponsor from Weston Young Carers. We have had a very successful year of fundraising and they were delighted to receive a cheque for £600.00 from us! They told us how much they enjoyed all the activities arranged for them, in particular the canoeing they had taken part in this year. They were very grateful to have been helped by this organisation for the last 10 years and our donation will certainly help many young people in the future.
Speaking of choosing a charity for 2020 our presidents asked for some suggestions from the members. We had a vote and the charity which was unanimously agreed upon was All Saints Church Sandford. We then had a minute's silence in Remembrance of the fallen and also two of our members who have died this year.
Viv our President made a lovely address speaking of her first year in office and thanked all the committee and members for their support. She is happy to stand again and was duly voted in. The committee remains the same apart from a resignation from Mary and the addition of 2 new members, Gina and Anne.
The next meeting will be on 9th December when Tim Lewis will be giving us an entertaining view of The nativity. There will be a bring and share supper for our Christmas party. The programme has been decided for next and will be published in due course.
