Jean Lockie, who has kept us plied with refreshments after our Winter Talks for many years, is standing down from this task now. The Committee would like to thank Jean on behalf of all of our members for adding to the enjoyment of our evenings together. She leaves a gap to be filled. I am happy to bring necessary supplies to the meeting and work in the kitchen, but I need help. I was thinking that with a team of half dozen maybe, I could email round a week before each meeting to see who is available and two or three from the team could provide the tea/coffee that evening. So, please do contact me if you usually attend some of our Winter Illustrated Talks and could help out in this way at a few of them.
