Meetings are usually held on the first Thursday of each month in Marwood Church Hall

 

We are always looking for new members and as you know they can be assured of a warm welcome so please forward this message to anyone who you think may want to join us. They can attend as a visitor while they make up their minds.   Marwood Ladies membership is growing slowly, we now have 30 paid up members and a couple of regular visitors. I try to book speakers from as wide a range as possible to cover most interests and we can afford. Yes, we do still have afternoon tea and often our speakers photograph the food as it reminds them of childhood teas.

Eighteen members attended our AGM.  Apologies were received from Debbie, Glenys, Grazyna, Hilary, Jackie, Jenny B, Kate, Pat B, Pauline, Ros, Sue and Violet.   Leader report - I gave my Leader's report which I can email to anyone wants to read it. I am always looking for suitable venues for an outing or matinee at the Queens or Landmark Theatres. Suggestions for outings are always welcome. 

 

Treasurers report -  Carol gave her Treasurers Report. The accounts are available if anyone wants to see them. We have £770 in the bank and £ 200 cash. We are always open for new members (subs charged pro rata) and visitors are always welcome. A vote of thanks was proposed for the work of the Treasurer and the Leader.  

 

AOB- There were no discussion points or nominations for the Secretary. As the speakers are all booked until our next AGM we will continue for a further year at least. Let us see what the future brings!  

 

We will remain as Leader/Secretary (Angela)  and Treasurer (Carol) for another year.  Bridget will continue to send birthday cards and Debbie to coordinate our afternoon teas.  If anyone has a suggestion for a speaker please let me know. We can pay a modest fee or make a donation to a charity of their choice. 

 

As our numbers continue to grow, we are again holding the cost of the annual subscription at £15 and meeting fee at £2 for members and £5 for visitors. Thanks to everyone who has paid so far. The subs are due now and can be paid to Carol in cash, cheque or direct into the bank at
