Seasons Greetings and warm winter wishes to all our members and guests.
I don’t know about you but I have been really enjoying all our speakers this year.
The Open meeting with a talk from Dr David Bareford about ballooning was so interesting and took us to far flung parts of the globe with a balloons eye view – fantastic.
We were regaled by further tales of Florence Nightingale by a historian from the Malvern Historical Society – We thought we knew a lot about Miss Nightingale , but we learnt quite a bit more after hearing about her from our expert Cora Weaver
As we go into the New Year we always look forward to the Poster and Case Presentations. This year the meeting has been deferred to extend the deadline. We have a low number of applicants but are hoping to boost the numbers in time for the 15th January .
Our next socials include a festive walk at Cromford on 20th December. All are welcome – see the website for details. Also a visit to the Victorian Pumping Station at Burton is booked for 11th January , again , details on the website
And finally, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful and very Happy New Year.
