Computer Housekeeping:
Do you have trouble finding documents on your computer or laptop? Is it a mystery where things disappear to? If so and you would like to find out how to organise your computer so that stuff is easy to find, please put your name on the Board and our very own Simone will organise a workshop to help you.
Our WI:
Our Archive files - do ask one of the committee if you would like to take them home to have time to read them. It is fascinating to see what has happened over more than 60 years. We would also like to remind members to keep photos or any material relating to our members and activities so that we can keep the archive up to date.
The RBH A&E department is still very grateful for the hospital packs so we shall continue to assemble these. Thanks go to Mary Hancock who is the coordinator for this
Recycling - remember that various members can recycle jam jars, egg boxes, milk bottle tops and balls of wool. Also any items of unwanted jewellery, broken or not. Please bring them along to the meeting.
