OUR president Marion Wardell opened the meeting and, after welcoming several guests we sang Jerusalem.

She then told us of the many forthcoming events we have to look forward to in 2015. We are holding a jumble sale in Durrington village hall at 2pm on February 21, several curry nights and lunch dates throughout the year and a trip to Bowood House in May.

We are going on a coach trip to Sidmouth in August and possible trips to Highgrove and the Stafford Arboretum although these need to be discussed further. We then continued our evening with a buffet supper and three quizzes which we all had great fun solving.

Our next meeting is on Tuesday, February 3 at 7pm in the Robinson room at Durrington village hall. The speaker is Mr Frank Bryant and his talk is entitled Lighthouse Stories.

Why not come and join us?

You would be very welcome.
