Report from The Silver Circle Seniors Club 2007-2008

It seems as we are getting older and slower, time as such gathers speed and the time for annual reports is here again.
However, despite a not exactly promising start, having lost Mrs Mills (our spokesperson) as well as Mrs Harrison, we managed to compile a year of events to satisfy most members.
During the summer, we enjoyed visits to Worcester Cathedral, where we admired a tapestry exhibition. Our visit to the Hartlebury Museum has been regarded as a highlight of the year. Not quite as successful was out visit to the Bibury Trout Farm – mainly as they were just awakening from their winter sleep and not yet really prepared for visitors.
The annual Christmas lunch at the Angel in Pershore brought us to the end of outdoor activities. We then were entertained by speakers on such topics as gardening, slides of holidays enjoyed by members of the community on such places as Africa or the Far East.
Two not-so-young gentlemen entertained us with some witty monologues and ditties accompanied by a guitar. We also enjoyed lunch at The Anchor in Fladbury.
Regrettably, we were able to persuade Mrs Merchant to be the contact in club affairs and she will delegate matters as they arise as well as keep her eye on our finances. We are very optimistic that the Silver Circle will make it through to 2009 and trust that we may welcome some new members to our meetings at Throckmorton village hall on the second Tuesday of each month at 2.30pm.
