• Skulduggery: The next monthly meeting will take place at 10am on Tuesday 11th August at St Peter’s and there will be intrigue and skulduggery in a talk by crime and TV writer Stephen Booth entitled ‘Where the Bodies are Buried – the life of a crime novelist’.
• Day Trips will soon be back! Three members of your Executive Committee have agreed to form a team of volunteers to perform the role of Social Account Treasurer. They are Sue Warner, Jane Rose and Jayne Piper. They will be working with Halinka Rajchel to develop a new programme of day trips.
• Arrangements for trips are being simplified to reduce the administrative burden. Ticket Tailor, which is an online booking and payment system, is being trialled, but members will still be able to book and pay for trips at monthly meetings. Online booking will benefit those members who can’t get to the monthly meetings and will ensure fair access to trips for all members.

• New Quiz Night Group: The first meeting will be on Monday 17th August at Larch Farm. For more information, please contact the Group Leaders Clive Aveyard or Jayne Piper.
• Expressions of Interest: These are groups that I am hoping to set up in the future.  If you are interested, please let me know and I will add your name to the list.  No obligation if you change your mind later. 
  • Winter Croquet (NEW). Thinking of trying something new for the winter months? This relaxed, social game is played indoors – no experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn and have fun!
  • Walking & Social 4/5 miles. The proposed aim of this group is for members to take it in turns to organise walks that start and end at a café or a pub! Exercise and social - what’s not to like?
  • Soft Tennis. Ideal for the ‘not quite so energetic’ members as it is slower and there’s less distance to run! This game is played with tennis rackets and larger foam balls on a court with lowered nets. Same rules as tennis.
