November 2025
Golly – how time flies!
What a fascinating story we heard from Christine at the last meeting about her experience with The Repair Shop. And all that food! Thank you so much.
I do my best with the sound-system, but some members still have a problem hearing properly when we have a speaker. Can l ask you please not to chat amongst yourselves when the speaker is talking. There’ll be plenty of chance to catch up at coffee time.
As well as the newsletter this month, have a look at this picture of a vintage postcard of Abingdon.
