October Meeting
On WED 8th OCTOBER we held our first CHARITY EVENING when meteorologist JIM BACON, came to talk to us about the Weather in East Anglia.
We had a really good turnout and over 80 people came to listen to his interesting and often entertaining illustrated talk. We learnt about all sorts of cloud formations and the reasons for them, about where our weather comes from and the way predictions are made.
There was plenty of time for questions and he also presented the Trophies from the Flower Show to those members of the audience that were present to receive them.
We have had some great emails back from Jim who was very pleased to tell us that we are his biggest fundraisers yet from one of his talks; as we raised the fantastic sum of £500 to give to Quidenham Children’s Hospice.
Many thanks to everyone who came along, donated raffle prizes and provided food for the finger buffet. It was a really good evening and one we should all feel proud of.
