Hemyock

I would like to thank all those who have offered accommodation to our French Twins who are due to arrive on Thursday 17th. May. If there is any one else who is interested in getting involved in Twinning there is still time to participate in the forthcoming visit. Just to remind you they arrive on Thursday May 17th late pm and departing on Sunday May 20th mid-day.

At the AGM of Hemyock Singers on Monday, 12th March, there being no other nominations, the present Committee were re-elected en bloc. The Treasurer reported a satisfactory situation, thanks to good ticket sales and donations. However, next year the accounts of the choral and stage groups will be presented separately.

Lynn Taylor, the president welcomed members to the February Meeting in the Forbes Lounge. Arrangements were made for the visit to the show Cats in April at Torquay and names were taken for those able to go to the Observatory at Sidmouth. It was agreed by all who attended, that the birthday meal at the Half Moon was very enjoyable. Daphne and Brenda reported on the resolutions meeting they had attended at Sidmouth in January where the resolution concerning the threatened closure of local hospitals was voted the most important.

We are hoping to encourage many more people to play tennis on our new courts at the beginning of the new season. Non-members may hire the courts (bookable at the Spar) and we're organising two Coaching Courses, taken by our LTA coach, Doug Scott, at very reasonable rates.

The Friends of St Mary's met in the Church rooms on Tuesday January 16th.
