Chairman Mrs W Wright chaired this evening’s meeting. She was very warmly welcomed having been unable to attend several previous TG meetings. We all wish her well.

This evening Mrs Wright welcomed 28 members, this number included one new member, who we trust will enjoy our meetings and various activities.

Social secretary Mrs M Writtle informed us that the proposed visit to Hampton Court has been cancelled due to the lack of support, however, afternoon tea at David Austin ROses was met with general approval.

A lunch with entertainment is being arranged at The Lodge, Wellington Road, Dudley, to take place in November. More information available at the next meeting.

The speaker this evening was Ruth Lowe, her topic, “The life of Mary Quant”.

Mrs Lowe had an amazing knowledge of her subject. She had brought numerous garments and many other items, not to mention her own amazing outfit, most of these things typical of the 60s and could give comments and information on every one. She also shared so much detailed information on the life and career of Mary Quant.

Next month on July 15, the speaker is Mike Sampson with his talk on Norman Wisdom.
