Club Meetings.
There have been excellent
attendances at all of our monthly meetings, where we all enjoy excellent lunches
and afternoon teas.
The speakers at the meetings
were varied and all very interesting:
April: Don Finlay a conjuror who
amazed us with his magic tricks.
May: Paul Dyer who gave an
enlightened talk on Kosova, (please remember that we are filling a number of
shoe-boxes at our September meeting to send to Kosova.)
June: Mrs Smith who tested our
knowledge of the 1940’s with a quiz and a brilliant talk on her items collected
from that era.
July: Maggie May who entertained
with her hilarious poems about life in the RAF from the wives perspective.
Remember that there will be no
meeting in AUGUST and therefore the next monthly meeting will take place at
Spaldwick School in the Community Room on Friday, 5th September.
Health Walk
The number of people joining the
group for the monthly Health Walks is now between 20 and 25 people. The group
are nearly always lucky with the weather. If it hasn’t always been sunshine it
has usually been dry, which for our weather is an excellent record. We have
walked around the RSPB at Sandy, Grafham Water, and along the River at Brampton.
The summer walk will be in the evening around Kimbolton, finishing with supper
and drinks at Marilyn and Phil.
Club Outings.
As always we have enjoyed a
variety of outings. In April we enjoyed trying to guess the final destination
for our mystery trip. There was no prize for those who guessed correctly, just
the satisfaction of being correct. We finally stopped at our destination, Oakham,
where we had free time to explore. In June we enjoyed a coach trip to Abingdon,
where we all enjoyed lunch and then boarded a boat for a trip on the Thames,
which included a strawberry tea. Again the weather was fine and some of the
people on the top deck were able to sunbathe as we meandered along the river.
 
Sad Events:
Two very sad events happened
with the deaths of Alma and David, both of whom will be sadly missed. Our
thoughts were with Jock and Elizabeth.
Forthcoming Events.
5th August.
Hunstanton day trip. (stopping for coffee at the Lavender shop en route).

Keep Fit Sessions. HELP is
desperately needed. A new leader is required for the Keep Fit Session, which
is currently held at Spaldwick School on Thursday mornings. If you could lead an
enthusiastic group through the keep fit sessions you would be very warmly
received. Please contact one of the committee members.
