Pauline Roberts welcomed members to the January meeting. There were twelve apologies. We had a successful Christmas party in December which was enjoyed by members and the nine visitors, who had sent appreciative letters. It was reported that Yvonne Maddocks has fallen, broken her wrist resulting in surgery. The annual dinner would be held at Hagley Country CLub on April 21 with the cost of £20. The next meeting will be on March 4.

The financial report was read by Margaret Fennell, who reminded the group that annual fees will be due in February and remain at £25.

The speaker for the evening was Roy Sturdy and his talk “Remembering the swinging sixties”.

The vote of thanks was made by Betty Butler. Raffle winners Barbara Boden and May Shearen.

The competition winner was Pat Newhall. The club meets at Oldswinford Primary School at 7.30pm.
