Our meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of each month from 1.30pm at the Town Hall. Everyone is welcome.

On 27 March we were entertained by Professor Collywobbles and we have never laughed so much at any meeting before. The Professor told us about the history of Punch and Judy which followed after displays of the Italian puppet, Punchinello, in Covent Garden, London. The history was interesting and made very amusing too by the audience being asked questions and a small reward given to the person answering correctly.

There was also a lot of audience participation and our members did themselves proud with the spirit they entered into it. Not only were we taken back to childhood memories of Punch and Judy shows at the seaside, but also entertained by jokes, humour and even a bit of singing. It was a thoroughly entertaining afternoon with some very welcome laughter.

At our next meeting on 24 April we hope to have a speaker from SSAFA.

We are looking for someone to take (or train to take) our Thursday morning exercise class. For further details, please contact Jennifer Johnson on 07497 550507 or on e-mail - avondean@sky.com
