The Hastings & District Association of Wrens

She gave a brief account of the past year's activities during which we had some very good speakers & members had some enjoyable outings.

Sadly we had lost two very loyal & long-standing members of the branch, but were very pleased to have gained two new members during the course of the year.

Various matters regarding the future were then discussed & it was decided that our charities for next year would be the W.R.N.S.

Benevolent Trust & the Returning Heroes Fund.

After a break for tea there followed a long discussion as to where our future meetings should be held, as it was felt that the rise in the cost of the hire of our present venue was too great for such a small group as ours to be able to afford.

A ballot was taken as to whether we should meet in Hastings or Bexhill, & resulted in favour of Bexhill by quite a large majority.

We therefore hope to meet at St Mary Magdalene's church hall, Sea Road, Bexhill, on Tuesday May 5th & would be extremely pleased to welcome any other ex Wrens who would like to join us there.

For further details please ring our chairman on (01424) 222721 or the secretary on (01424) 211102.
