It was good to see everyone again after having to meet on Zoom in January due to the extreme weather. We had the best turnout in a long time – 40 members attended and Susan opened the meeting for the first time as our President.
Our speaker was Dominga Devitt who reminded us of lots of vintage adverts, some going back to the 1950s. Lots of memories for many of us, aincluding some jingles from adverts that we hadn’t heard for many years. Janet gave the vote of thanks.
We had a busy meeting, with lots of information for members about the many activities planned by Whitley and Cheshire. After the refreshment break we had a vote on the resolutions. We had 39 votes cast, and the results were
1 Let’s talk about incontinence – 15 2 Bystanders can be lifesavers – 12
3 Join the repair revolution – 1 4 Eliminate landfill of medication packaging – 11
The results of our vote will be reported to Cheshire.
Pat outlined our financial position and advised members that the subs for 2025 would be £51, payable by end of March 2025.
The competition was for ‘A Vintage Branded Food Tin’, won by Jean. Our winner for 2024 was Anne Toll.
Our next meeting will be on 6th March when our speaker will be Kim Smith from Radio Northwich with a theme of ‘Music is my first love’. The competition is ‘A favourite line from a song’ – just write your favourite on a piece of card/paper and put on the Competition table..
