The December meeting was opened by chairman of the day Liz Hubbard who welcomed members and visitors.

The minutes of the previous meeting were signed and details of the finances were given. A trip to Liverpool is being arranged costing approx £20 but more details to follow.

The January 5 meeting will be at The Cross, Kingswinford, 12 for 12.30pm.

The February 2 meeting will be at The Mount Pleasant, Cot Lane Kingswinford.

The April Birthday Lunch at the Himley Country Hotel is on April 27.

Coffee Mornings will probably recommence in March. The ‘Prize every time’ stall at the Community Centre Christmas Bazaar in November raised approx. £75 for the Community Centre funds. Liz then introduced our entertainers Brian and Liz who gave a varied programme of songs, poetry and a very amusing skit on Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

Liz gave the vote of thanks. Mince pies and Christmas fare was then served with tea and coffee. There will be no January meeting so Liz gave details of the February meeting which will be on Monday 16 with a Quiz and Membership Renewal.

The Annual General Meeting is to be held on Monday March 16 and members were asked to consider joining the committee and attending a committee meeting to observe how meetings are conducted.

Visitors are always welcome to the Guild morning meetings, at a small charge of £2.50, which are held at the Wordsley Green Community Centre on the third Monday each month at 10am.
