October *Special* News
As the members who attended last Thursday's meeting will be aware we had to cancel the scheduled talk.
Gary Long from Trewithen Plants had to pull out at short notice owing to a family emergency.We wish the family well and hope that we will see Gary some time in the future.
Thankfully we were able to find a substitute speaker and we are extremely grateful to Dave Frost for standing in with an interesting talk on the Cinnamon Trust.
A charity dog walking organisation which it seems may have inspired a few members to make enquiries about possibly becoming dog walkers. Dave wishes to thank everyone who contributed to the charity, via the bucket collection on the evening, which raised a creditable £71. The speaker's fee will also be donated to the Trust at Dave's request.
