Message from the President – Feb 2020

There are a lot of thanks to be expressed this month.

Thanks to all those who have donated items to the Centre – tombola items, our mail box, home made bags and peg bags, kettle, sofa etc, etc. You are a great bunch of friends.

Thanks to Ian Hurley, Chris Hurley, Lynne Bowes, Michelle Downes, John Downes, Michelle Blewitt, Jenni Bryant, Sally Hollings, Sandi Tinkham, Nina Rhodes, Carol Farmer, Judith Hoyle, Sarah Makin and Francine Sanchez for being part of the team reading and singing with the children. And to Jos for her regular and entertaining articles for the magazine. Also to all our advertisers who help to fund the printing of the magazine.

Thank you to everyone who managed to make it to the AGM last month. We do appreciate your attendance to show your support and to give us any suggestions you may have for improvements to the running of your Association.

Thank you also to Dave Ridyard for auditing our accounts.

At the AGM, we thanked Lucy Ball and Chris Hurley for their roles on the committee over the years and welcomed Michelle Blewitt, Janet Fellender and Beryl Booth onto the committee.

A big thanks goes to Ian Hurley and Frank Moorhouse for organising some great trips last year and for planning more this year.

We look forward to seeing you in the Centre, on one of our trips, or at some of the events we are planning for this year.

The next event is our Eggciting Easter Eggstravaganza on Saturday 11th April (excuse the awful puns!).

Please check the Centre notice board, our website and Facebook page for travel and event updates. Sometimes final details are confirmed after the magazine has gone to print.
