From the Chairman: Subscriptions The final date for payment of 2005/2006 subscriptions is 31st March. After that date it will be assumed you do not wish to continue your membership and you will, of course, no longer be eligible to participate in the groups to which you currently belong. If, on the contrary, you wish to renew, please contact the Treasurer urgently on 01980 610405 |
WANTED! NEW GROUPS
If you have an idea for a new group, please fill in the ‘Ideas Sheet’ at the AGM or telephone the Groups Organiser on 335909. Remember that groups can be quite small, based on ‘common interest’ or ‘shared learning’ (rather than needing a specialist leader), and can be monthly, fortnightly or weekly and fitted round the family, health, holiday and other realities of group coordinator or members.
