SAD NEWS
We were all very sad to learn of the passing of Pat Norman in early December. Pat started 'Tuesday at Friends' in 1958 and ran it single-handed until Easter 2016. She remained close to the group until the end but had not been able to visit since the 60th birthday celebration in February 2018. There will be a memorial service at the Friends Meeting House on June 27th at 2pm.
PROGRAMME
I regret to say that we have decided to terminate this group, after some 65 years of offering weekly talks to the general public. Because of the average age of our group, and - in many cases - their frailty, it seems unlikely that many will feel confident in meeting at close quarters for an hour's talk, or going for tea and cakes afterwards until at least next summer, 2022. Hopefully we will be proved wrong, but the age of the organisers is also a factor - not many of us will be able to emulate Pat's ability to organise 30+ speakers a year at the age of 90!
If you and others would like to resurrect the group at any time, please talk to the helpful staff at Friends Centre, who have been given the cash balance of the group.
