CHAIRMAN'S REPORT DECEMBER 2020

chairman December 2020

Dear friends,

Perhaps it’s the normal seasonal change in the quality of the light, perhaps it’s the growing confidence that with mass vaccination we stand a chance at last of minimising the appalling effects of Covid19, but I feel I can detect a lightening of the atmosphere that has been so gloomy for so long. Let’s hope this is the case. It is deeply gratifying that so many members have found comfort and stimulation during these grim times by continuing to interact through their groups. Building on the skills that have been honed during lockdown we held our first Zoom monthly meeting in February. This was a success and about 80 members joined in. Our Speakers Secretary, Nick Vernon, has arranged more Zoom meetings for the coming months - something to look forward to.

Groups actively seeking new members include Canasta, Classic Novels and Current Affairs!
