EVENTS
Our next meeting at The Staddy will be on Friday 17th May and our speaker will be Keith Smithers - Life in a Primary School
We are using the side entrance to The Staddy and the inner doors will open at 10.00 for a 10.30 start. We ask you to remember to bring your Membership cards with you for scanning. Our Membership Secretary, Shirley Wheeler, will be on hand to deal with any issues if you haven’t yet received your new card, or haven’t yet renewed.
We would request that if you are not feeling well or have been in close contact with someone who is likely to be infectious, please do not attend.
We have allocated some disabled parking spaces at The Staddy for our General Meetings. Turn right on entering the car park, and facing the building you will find reserved parking spaces which will be available on a first come-first served basis. We ask that other members leave these spaces free for those who are Blue Badge Holders. There is ample parking for everyone, but we appreciate that the surface of the car park is not very flat and also rather stony, so we hope this will make it easier for some of our members to get to the building from their cars.
At the General Meetings we are also happy to help those disabled members who have difficulty walking or are hard of hearing. We always put out 2 or 3 rows of chairs on the right hand side of the room, with only 3/4 chairs in each row to enable people to get to a chair with ease. If you need help with this, or in finding a front seat if you are hard of hearing, please find a committee member and they will be pleased to help you.
Our next speaker will be Keith Smithers - "Life in a Primary School". Keith will talk to us about his work as a Headmaster of a local primary school.
Following on from this on 21st June will be our Annual General Meeting. Our AGM business won’t take long and then we will welcome our speaker Alan Bricknell who will tell us about Post War Industries in Plymouth.
PREVIOUS SPEAKERS
Our speaker for our April meeting was Coral Smith from Devon Wildlife Trust. Established 60 years ago by a small group of volunteers, Devon Wildlife Trust is the only charity that exists to protect all wildlife in Devon and to safeguard Devon’s unique natural environment. Coral is based at the Wembury Marine Centre and told us that Wembury Beach is a magnet for wildlife – its rocky cliffs are home to nesting seabirds and the rocky shore.
