THE January meeting began with the president welcoming six new visitors and two new members – a great start to the new year.

Tony Partridge once again gave us a great talk about policing in Bromsgrove in years gone by.

His stories certainly made us chuckle.

The competition was a favourite Christmas card and was won by Maggie.

Next month we will be welcoming Alan Thornton with the story of the Cadbury family and the competition is something chocolate.

The new year meal will be at Stone Manor and the craft group will be meeting in January to discuss decopatch, beaded bracelets and lots more for the crafty evenings of 2014.

Make a new year’s resolution to come along and join us for friendship and fun. We meet on the second Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm at Finstall Village Hall.
