It was our AGM in April. AGM's can be a bit dry with all the business that needs to be done, but not at Defford Hummingbirds. After we were given details of the monies we had raised for Paddlers, we then chose a new charity to support this year. Requests were made for help at the Fete and the business completed before we flew south to the colourful country of India for a slide show and display of saris and mementos . There was an Indian quiz to test the grey matter and a variety of delicious curries and dahl for members to try, served up with poppadoms, rice and accompaniments.

You don't have to live in Defford to join us. We meet at 7.30pm on the second Wednesday in the month at Defford Village Hall. We're a friendly bunch, why not come along and meet us? On May 9 we have local author Sue Johnson coming to tell us all about writing for women's magazines and maybe giving us a few writing exercises to do.

For more information, ring Patti on 01386 556390.
