West Forest Townswomens Guild has almost put the lockdowns and the pandemic behind and has returned to normal with monthly meetings, speakers and a host of small group activities and outings including visits to the local theatre.
At the AGM in March a full committee was established to organise the meetings throughout the coming year.
Our speaker, Annette Medhurst, gave an in-depth account of the Food Bank and it’s achievements in benefiting a growing number of families.
Members brought a large array of provisions and toiletries to the meeting and these were delivered to a representative of the organisation.
Our April speaker, Mel Rees amused us with his entertaining and light hearted talk on My Family and other Meercats. His lighthearted delivery was very much appreciated and enjoyed.
In May, we were enthralled by a presentation on the Brilliant Birds of Berkshire given by Alisa Claybourne who has a vast knowledge of the bird community.
Not only were we given a visual shot of the birds but also heard the song of each and learned about their different habitats.
We are now looking forward to a Jubilee Tea Party at the beginning of June and a visit to Loseley Park for a guided tour of the house and refreshments later in June.
We meet in Emmbrook Village Hall on the third Thursday of each month except August.
New members are welcome.
Liz Shilham, chairman
