2026 MEETING REVIEWS

APRIL .......

Our special 700th meeting took place in April and this was celebrated with a selection of refreshments reminiscent of foods available in the 1960's when St Johns was formed. There was a lot of discussion and shared memories and music from the 60's. We also had a quiz relating to questions through the decades which was very well received. It was a really fun evening and enjoyed by all.

MARCH .......

Our speaker for March was Jane Muddle who gave a very interesting talk on The Story behind the Bags and Hats of Madagascar and how she became interested in this topic. She brought along a great selection for everyone to view and try on. We also held a Bring and Buy Sale and the proceeds of this donated to the charity LinkAble. An enjoyable evening was had by all.

FEBRUARY .......

On a cold and wet night, Julie Paice led a craft activity 'Diamond Dotz' to make sparkly butterflies or hummingbirds. It was a lovely activity enjoyed by all with very positive feedback.

JANUARY .......

For our first meeting of 2026, Judy Nicholson led us in an enjoyable session of line dancing which warmed us all up on a particularly cold evening. It really tested our coordination and fitness and a great time was had by all.
