Chairman Brian Idoine welcomed 57 members and 79 visitors to the meeting, reminding everyone of the safety and refreshment arrangements.
He then gave the following notices: a) 200 club (organised by the Wordsley Community Association): Two members of the society had won prizes which Brian handed over to the lucky winners. He then explained that £11 buys a year’s subscription, with monthly prizes, the Autumn prize being £200. He encouraged more to join in, and help raise funds for the Community Association.
b) AGM – 14 May. Supper request forms to be handed in. A form was provided for nominations for the Committee. Brian asked that members give great thought to this as more folk were needed to ensure the continued success of the Society.
Brian then introduced Ray Sturdy whose subject was ‘Worcestershire’s Witley Court’.
Brian thanked Ray for a most interesting and informative talk.
He also thanked the ladies who had provided the refreshments, and reminded everyone of the forthcoming meetings – the AGM and supper on May 14, and ‘The Coseley Tragedy of l901’ on Thursday June 11, at 7.30pm in the Community Centre, Wordsley Green”.
