Our philosophy group meets on the third Wednesday of each month. We are a very friendly group, with no experts, just people who are interested in finding out what the meaning of life is all about and what great thinkers have had to say about it.  Our discussions have ranged from  Plato to the philosophy of walking and lots in between. If you feel you would like to explore Philosophy  come along and you will receive a warm welcome and no prior experience of Philosophy is needed.

Our next meeting is on Wednesday 21 st  November at Kensington House from 2.30  to 4.30 where we will discuss some of the philosophy  of Education. We will also  examine some different meanings of intelligence.

The foodie group met yesterday for our final meeting of the year as the December meeting will be our Christmas meal. Once again we had lovely tasters made by group members and as you can see by the photo gallery they were demolished with rapid speed. This year we have a picnic in Brenda’s lovely garden, been to a couple of guest chef evenings at L20 restaurant where we sampled foraged food and a Nordic menu, and dined on tasters at the meetings again made by group members. These have included dishes made with pasta, rice and grains, pies and salads, Continue reading →

No line dancing again this week . Unfortunately Hilary is still unwell

Christmas Concert 11 December 9.45 for 10 am
Programes for the Christmas concert are available today from the book table. There is no charge. Leaving donations will be invited on the day for Woodlands Hospice.

Our Christmas break
The Christmas Concert above on 11 December will be our last ‘normal’ coffee morning. The following week some leaders will be present at MBC to collect holiday monies but our ‘usual’ tea and coffee will not be available and there will not be any announcements. Our ‘normal’ coffee morning will resume on 8th January 2019.

2019/20 membership renewals and fee
Finally, the membership team have started getting ready to carry out the membership renewals process for next year. Committee met last week and decided, given we still have reserves above the recommended 6 months running cost figure, that we would set (maintain) the membership fee at £6 for the 19/20 year. The fee will be considered again prior to 20/21 renewals – it is anticipated that it will most likely need to increase at that point.
