WEDNESDAY CLUB: Look younger, be stronger, last longer, that was the aim at least of Carmel Greenwood's series of gentle exercise sessions especially for club members. Members are very grateful to her, and feel quite rejuvenated.

Some damage to members' new healthier lifestyle was inflicted by the bring-and-share lunch that started the March meeting, the pudding table and the wine bar being particularly tempting. However, members lost a few calories by singing along to some Gracie Fields songs that formed the subject of Joan Smith's fascinating talk.

The next meeting will be on April 9, at 3pm in the village hall when Mr A. Coleman will talk on Garden Birds.

The AGM will also be held, when members will be asked to pay their annual subscription of £2. The club currently has a membership of 45, and new recruits are always very welcome.
