REPORT: February 16th 2010: Tapping into Barometers - Patrick Marney

16/02/2010 - 14:00
Etc/GMT

This was a very interesting talk. Patrick spent all his working life restoring barometers and brought plenty to show us. Some of us had to admit that our knowledge was sadly lacking in this department and so found it all very enlightening - we had no idea of the significance and many applications of these instruments.  read more »

We're all going to try our hand at this. Pam is bringing all the equipment required for our flower arrangements, and essentially, all the help we could possible need. Spring will be just around the corner, so why not come and join us? After such a harsh winter, it must be a really good excuse for another celebration!

REPORT: January 19th 2010: Household Memorabilia - Shirley Hall

Etc/GMT

This developed into a lively meeting, prompting distant memories of the joy of long lost cleaning skills - of boots and buttons and carpets and cobwebs. Of mops and buckets and all manner of polish.
Shirley entertained us all and promised more to follow. I'm sure she'll be back - there's still the laundry to cover!

Shirley Ebdell's talk proved very interesting and everyone agreed they wanted more meetings like this one. She described walking 71 miles aged 71 years and raising £3500. Everone enjoyed seeing all the photos and asking lots of questions about how the money is helping the disadvantaged children adjust once they leave orphanages.  read more »

This brought many surprises and much hilarity.
There were a wide variety of stories from making lunch for Princess Anne, to talking about historic books and showing photos of bygone days at Pulham School. They said that it was an excellent meeting, they wanted more like it, and it was enjoyable, interesting and fun!
Many thanks to all those who helped make it so successful.
