A message from Ian Logan, our Chairman ... ... ...
Best wishes for Christmas, and the New Year, to you all.
I just want to update you all on the group’s situation.
We are still looking for a Secretary/Co-ordinator to replace Jill who stepped down at the AGM at the beginning of September. We are grateful to Jill who has continued to email members with various news items during the last few months - Jill tells me she hopes someone will soon take over this role.
We are looking for more people to be involved in the group, including a Vice-Chair, people to fill the Area Contact Vacancies, and a Publicity/Media Contact. Jill recently forwarded information concerning the press and library meeting announcements - let her know if you are able to help with this, and she will forward it again to you.

Meeting Venues
Kidderminster and Pershore
Our leaflet about the group with information about useful contacts and NHS services.
On our latest tri-fold leaflet. You will notice that against both Kidderminster and Pershore it states - “Phone for venue location”. This is because there will soon be changes taking place - when arrangements have been confirmed information will be on the group website. The current situation is -
Pershore - There is a possibility that the rooms at the Town Hall may not be available for a few months whilst the library may be temporarily in the building. We do not know as yet which months will be affected. If you know a suitable venue that we could use, please get in touch with me - many thanks.
Kidderminster - We have heard that the room in the Library will be available in February, but not March onwards. This is due to changes taking place in the library. If you know a suitable venue that we could use, please get in touch with me, and/or Audrey Hammond (01562 822834) - many thanks.
Watch our website for uptodate information.
Meeting timings
On the attached leaflet you will see the meetings are for one hour and - “(Timings can be extended if required at the time)”
If it is your intention to arrive at the meeting near the end of the hour, it would be helpful if you would try to phone the Area Contact beforehand - many thanks.
Best wishes to everyone for Christmas, and the New Year.
