A Note from Our Chairman

I am very pleased my workload has eased since a committee was formed and the appointed officers have taken over many of the tasks that I used to perform.

Paid-up membership now exceeds thirty. In addition, we have many visitors, who are permitted to attend three meetings before they join, pay the £5 annual membership fee and receive a Membership Card. Your Committee has worked hard to produce this full and interesting programme of events for the first half of 2008. We normally hold two meetings a month, and have a number of visiting speakers. We welcome suggestions for future meetings.

In addition to our own meetings, members are encouraged to attend South Herefordshire Dowsers (SHD) meetings at Aston Ingham Village Hall at 7:30pm on the first Thursday of every month. Details on their website www.dowsers.org.uk In return, SHD members are always welcome to attend our meetings.

Peter Golding, Chairman

Ride Sharing

Speaking of SHD meetings, it makes sense to ride share - greener and friendlier. Peter already takes a car load; I hope to attend future meetings myself, so if anyone would like a lift (or can offer one) via Slimbridge Village Hall car park, please let me know.

Trish Mills, Publicity Secretary
