Minutes
of our November meeting: Agreed by those present to be signed as a true
record.
Matters
arising/feedback:
§ Thank you again
for foodbank contributions – Mary had boxed up and delivered the donations to
Frome Foodbank. They were delighted and had sent us a letter of thanks,
mentioning increased demand and reported we had sent 30kg of goodies! (19kg in
2019). Thanks to everyone.
§ Christmas
Meal at The Bell Inn last week was very enjoyable – 29 ladies present
§
Carol Festival in Wells – Tierna attended and
reported it was quieter than previous years with less of an atmosphere but
still enjoyed.
§ Christmas
Tree Festival. Thanks for all the ideas, creating things and to those who set
up and for the loan of the tree which was perfect! Pictures were shown on the big screen.
We won Best Tree by a village
organisation, and Best as voted by those who visited the Festival. We won a
bundle of Christmas goodies which will be raffled off tonight – a free ticket for
each member.

card will be handed out at the January meeting. Mary asked for a Vote of Thanks
person for January (Sue R volunteered) and will sort the rest in January.
Plan
for this evening plan: Business, Pantomime,
refreshments, and music
Five members in appropriate headgear
performed a short version of Cinderella with minimal words, monotone voices –
very amusing and enjoyed by all present.
We then started to play/show videos of
the music choices that members had requested - either their first, favourite or
another meaningful piece. Some added a story or reason for their choices which
were well received. 19 pieces played ranging from Status Quo to a Violin
Concerto – all very different and enjoyable.
Teas and Christmas snacks were served in between.
Lastly the Tree Festival prizes along
with some of our prize stocks were matched with “names out of a hat” and those
who won prizes took them home. Others will be delivered to winners ASAP.
