April 2017 Easter Parade
Our
April meeting was an opportunity for members to show their artistic skills. We
were pleased to have a return visit from Steve Wheeler who told us ....."Art is for everybody - have some fun." So we did,
using our artistic eyes and skills to blend watercolours and paint our vases
of flowers beautifully-and our artistic talents didn't end there.
The competition to produce an Easter
bonnet stretched some members' imaginations to produce the most amazing
head wear as our photo show.
Congratulations to all who entered in the fun .

Freewheelers at our March meeting
We were interested to hear about the service Freewheelers offer our communities. They are a Charity funded service that offers fast and immediate out of hours service to the NHS, transporting blood, diagnostic specimens, records, medication and equipment.
This service is completely free to the NHS and offers an invaluable service enabling patience to get urgent treatment ASAP.
Book of the Month for March 2017
Our book of the month for March is
Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
This is a story about childhood sweethearts at school in Nigeria whose lives take different paths when they seek their fortunes in America and England.
Our next meeting to discuss this book is on Wednesday April 12th at 7.30pm at Denise's house.
