December is a members only event at the Boatsmans Rest.In the last couple of years this has been a Christmas meal 1 week later than the ordinary meeting.More details nearer the time.
In February we had a slight change in the committee with Linda Buckley stepping down as our hard working Secretary.Below is a photo of Linda receiving a lovely bunch of flowers from our chairman Richard Hargate.
Our new Secretary is Rev June Fox who last year presented the trophies at our Branch Rally.
At our branch meetings we spend time chatting with our friends both old and new,discussing events that branch members maybe interested in attending and generally having a good time.
We quite often have a quiz provided by one of our members and our much loved raffle.
In one of the summer months we hold a barbecue which is expertly cooked by the helpful staff of the Boatsmans Rest where we hold our meetings.
To round off our year we have a members only Christmas Event.
Our chosen charity for 2024 is
Weston Park Cancer Hospital.
At our April meeting we received a visit from Sam who works at Weston Park Cancer Hospital .She gave us a very informative talk about the excellent work done at the hospital.
Richard our chairman presented Sam with a Cheque from our Branch for the hospital
4 of our members took part in the Roses run this year.
Gary and Bev collected money for our chosen charity the Sheffield society for the Blind and Richard Hargate our Chairman and his son collected money for the MS therapy centre in Catcliffe.Although they both found it a challenge they enjoyed the event very much.
