Harvest Thanksgiving

 

On September 28th we held our Harvest Thanksgiving afternoon. Members filled the tables with produce and Rev Jon conducted a short service. Margaret, as usual auctioned off all the produce in aid of this year’s charity, the British Heart Foundation.

 

October started with a rousing fanfare, when Lt Col Geoff Kingston, a retired bandmaster, who has conducted many military bands at ceremonial occasions, told us of the origins of the well-known marching songs of the First World War .We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon and thanked Lt Col Kingston for having travelled all the way from Newquay to be with us.

 

 

On October 12th Rosemary Scadden, a regular visitor, gave us a talk on Sea Shells .She brought her collection along, most of which were collected during the many years she spent living in the Solomon Islands.

We will be taking names and deposits for our Christmas dinner on December 14th, during November, the venue still to be decided
