... more from Nantwich
The meeting last Monday was an interesting poetry evening . Some poems were funny , such as Pam Ayres Goodwill to Men-Give Us Your Money , some were inspirational such as the poem Hazel read which her boss had given her when beginning a new job and others were poems which had been learned at school . Another poem about growing old reminded the lady of her parents and how they grew old together and one lady had written her own poem when finding it traumatic to learn that at the age of 46 she had been adopted and had a whole new other family .
The next meeting is going to be one where we have to do some research . Last year we were each given a letter and asked to research a scientific fact and as it was so successful we have each been given a letter and we have to research a historical building or person .
Our social events have been theatre trips to the local Nantwich Players . The productions are amateur dramatics but we all feel that the company is exceptionally professional . We had a skittles day and Sunday lunch as well as a joint BBQ with the Crewe and Willaston Group . Unfortunately the Safari Supper didn ' t have many ' takers ' but the summer walk was very popular . One very wet day in June a group of us visited the National Arboretum and inspite of the weather eveyone enjoyed the day . www . thenma . org . uk /
The book group continues to be popular and we are having a joint meeting with other groups and we are discussing The Last Runaway by Tracey Chevalier . The last book was Suite Francais which was about France when the country was occupied by the Germans . Some of us went to the cinema to see the film of the book .
I will post our Spring magazine to you and include our current programme here . I hope Betty is on the mend . and that you are not feeling too stressed as National Secretary . Amazing how a glass of wine helps .
Not sure when we are next coming to Australia but I will be in touch when I come .
Best wishes
Joyce and all the Nantwich and Audlem ladies .
