Our 10th Birthday celebrations were a lot of fun. Thank you to everyone who could make it, and for the messages received from some of those that couldn’t. It was great to have some old faces there and be told about, or be reminded of, some of the highlights of the past ten years, such as Moira the beefeater and the Air Ambulance man! As well as some of the lowlights, such as the meeting with only a couple of attendees, which reassures me that that things are going well at the moment!
 
The AGM passed smoothly, and I am very pleased that there was no opposition to me remaining President, for at least the next year. So I am celebrating with the photo at the top of this newsletter, of me and the Middlesex Federation representatives, Carol & Gerry, who helped ensure all went smoothly, including cutting the cake. Thank you.
 

For our next meeting, on 20 June, from 7pm for 7.30 start – We have comedian and actress, Samantha Baines coming. In preparation for featuring in the Edinburgh Festival over the summer, she will be trialling her new comedy show
