The March meeting was opened by usual by leader Jenny Edwards.

Jenny gave out a number of apologies from members as a result of illness and then gave notice of several events taking place during March.

Our speaker for the afternoon, Pauline Bird, was introduced to the meeting. The subject of Pauline's talk was The Media and its influence.

Jenny thanked Pauline for her talk and presented her with a plant.

We have four birthdays in the next few weeks, Iris Brazier, Margaret Jaquiss, Iris Knock and Janet Steele. We thank Iris Brazier for the cream scones and hot cross buns she brought along.

Our next meeting is on April 5 at 2pm in Clent Church. The speaker will be our own Liz Piddock speaking on Women of the Bible.

The May meeting on May 3 will be held at the home of Audrey Walton due to the hall being used for elections.
