Hello to everyone. I was reminded a little earlier by our Chairman of a quote by Harold Wilson in which he said “a week is a long time in politics “…….and just so in life. As I was putting this report together, I heard on my radio that Her Majesty , the Queen had passed away. So much has happened in the past three days . I am sure that I speak for the Club when I say that our sincere condolences and prayers are with the Queen’s family at this sad time. I am now of an age when I well remember singing the now “new words” of our National Anthem as the norm.
Now ,down to business. I hope that you have all had a good summer and reflect on where has this year gone ? The Club had a display at the Garstang Show in August along with another at Oaklands Residential Home late in August. Both were successful events with much interest shown. Thanks to all involved in setting up these two events.
Our first meeting of the year was on Wed. Sept 7th. This was very well attended with some new members and a very comprehensive programme enjoyed by all (personally, I can’t wait for next year’s first meeting).
I now list our upcoming meetings for October. Some meetings will be “live” in the Arts Centre and others will be by ZOOM.
Oct. 5th………..Jane Lazenby on Working with Textures………..ZOOM
Oct. 12th………Workshop……….to be advised.
Oct. 19th………Events Cup Competition to be judged by Daryl Giles

On Friday September 8th. I noticed a second flourish of flowers on a rosebush to which I submit the enclosed image which I will title Another Queen Elizabeth.
