Three members attended the Playday at Astley village hall in January, and other members heard the "new speakers" at the same venue on February 25.

At the February meeting lists were made for visits to the Rose Theatre, Kidderminster, to see Sailor Beware on March 31, The Business of Murder on May 12, and the WI variety show on June 18.

Mary Oxendale received the flowers from the president's table.

A Hadley showed slides and videotapes of badgers, which have fascinated him for many years. He told of the badgers' behaviour, breeding pattern and habitat.

On Monday the group celebrates its 75th anniversary with a party at Wolverley church hall, starting at 7.30pm.
