We had two for the price of one at our meeting on 13th October! A very large audience heard first from Brian Quinn about the ‘raison d'etre for and development of Penny Post, our local community weekly newspaper and website. We also heard about how the various stories are tracked and developed. For more details and to sign up to receive Penny Post, if you don't do so already, please follow this link: pennypost.org.uk.
Penny Locke then went on to tell us about the Hungerford Food Community and her passion for bringing home cooking to children and families in the area. The next ‘Cook In’ will be held at the Youth and Community Centre on Saturday 28th November. More details from Penny at: hungerfordfoodcommunity@gmail.com.
New Groups!
History Group
Jenny Knight is leading this group on 1st Monday of the month at The Hub lasting for an hour and a half. Topics for discussion and research are decided by the group members. There is a charge of £2.50 to cover the cost of hall hire and a drink. If you are interested please contact Jenny Knight via the Committee page.
Cuppa and Chat Club
The Cuppa and Chat Club met for the first time at Dobbie's Garden Centre last month. More meetings are planed and if you are interested in joining or require further information please contact Jane Fiddler via the Committee page.
News from our Creative Writing group where two of the members have been awarded prizes at a competition run by Highclere Castle. Tim Jarvis was successful last year writing a review of a novel, Autobiography of a Cad by A. G. Macdonell; and this year Iris Lloyd wrote a diary entry talking about world events in the vein of Enid Blyton. Congratulations to them both!
There is still one more of the Gardening group's programme of garden visits for this year; details below.
Also with the Gardening group, there are now new co-ordinators, Gill Latham and Angie Wedgwood, after Liz Camfield has decided to relinquish the role. Many thanks to Liz from us all for all the hard work she has put into establishing and running the group for many years.
