OUR February meeting was another hands on experience for us all. Our guest speakers were John and Annette Christopher from Albrighton Pottery. John gave us a ‘potted’ history of clay working after which both he and Annette instructed us on making our own piece of work. Individual pieces were created by all members, then collected for Annette to join together and form a bowl. This is now with them to be fired and finished ready to return back to us. Members are beginning to look forward to some extra activities over the next couple of months including lunch at The Bell on February 19, with a proposed lunch club visit to The Blue Bell at Ryall in March . Jenny is organising pancake making again at the school on February 24 with the 8-year-olds followed by races in the afternoon. We are also hoping to join in the walk to the moon and back being organised by Worcester University (ie an attempt for groups and individuals to collectively walk the equivalent distance)! Next meeting on Wednesday, March 4, our speaker will be Ann Travarison who will be discussing “become a dementia friend”. Visitors are welcome to join us.
