At our November meeting, we welcomed David Bleackley who gave a talk on the changing face of the police force. It brought back many memories of the “Good old days”.

Afterwards we drew our Pot of Gold winner…envelopes containing £1 are dropped in a pot all year then the winning name gets half the contents, the other half going to the Rainbow House charity.

The winner was Gordon Powell who very generously donated the £45 back to Rainbow House. Refreshments made by Frances, Gordon and Brenda Birchby followed with a welcome brew on a cold afternoon.

On the morning of the 11th November we saw a beautiful display of poppies in the garden facing Barlow House, these had been made by Frances and Gordon Rosbotham – I think you will agree they are a poignant and meaningful tribute
to all the fallen brave men.

” We will remember them”.
