The November Newsletter will be sent out on 1st November. Once again, many thanks to Margaret Whilde & Lindsay Smith for printing off copies for those members not on email and for delivering them on their morning walks.

We had a Broomhill Birthday lunch on 15th October for Anita Lingard, but our birthday lunch on 29th October for Lindsay Smith has been cancelled through illness; there was a Bus Pass Day out on 22nd October.

Due to Covid concerns we have cancelled our usual Coffee Club on 31st October and our Fish & Chip Night on 13th November. However there will be another Bus Pass day out to the Craft Fayre at Southwell Minster on the 6th November.

But we are really looking forward to our outing to the Blue Diamond Garden Centre at East Bridgford on 19th November, which usually puts us in the mood for Christmas! Let’s hope the current Covid position does not worsen.

Lunch Group

The first Lunch Group in over eighteen months was on Wednesday, 27th October at Miller & Carter, Papplewick when 24 sat down to dine. As I was away in Scotland, Rose Ridley kindly was in charge and I hope everything went well. Luckily the restaurant did not want our pre-orders or any deposits so it was a bit easier for our first time out in ages.

Sprinters at Arnold (part of the Stadium Leisure company and similar menu to that at The Broomhill) is the November 24th lunch and I will email everyone with the menu soon so please let me have your choices by return.

I am also taking names for the Christmas Lunch at the Albert Hall on Wednesday, 15th December, 3 courses for £19.95. We always enjoy a lovely meal at the Albert Hall with silver service by welcoming staff. There are still places left but I will need the balance of the cost at the November meeting if you have just paid a deposit, or the full cost if you are only just putting your name down.

I shall be looking for a local venue for January in case we have snow (you never know!).

Reading Group

by WebmasterUncategorizedPosted on Comments are Disabled

This month I got the librarian to pick out eight autobiographies on my behalf (latest ones not old ones) to take the members out of their comfort zone. I got each member to pick a book at random out of a bag! The books ranged from Tina Turner, Bernard Cribbins, comedian Tom Allen, Elton John, Phil Schofield, Michael McIntyre, Caroline Flack and a couple of others which I can’t remember offhand at the moment.

Next month we are reading “Wuthering Heights” by Emily Bronte – talk about from the ridiculous to the sublime!
