| CROESO YN �L Thursday, 24th September 2009 7.30pm for an 8pm start Chelmsford Cathedral Chapter House The evening will give us all an opportunity to meet up after the summer break and catch up on all our family and holiday news. Our new president, Shirley Moody, has organised an interesting meeting which I am sure that you will all enjoy. During the evening her son-in-law, Tom Ellis, will introduce Dr. Claire Harrison from St. Thomas� Hospital, who will give us a short presentation on Myeloproliferative Disorders. MPD Support is the charity we are supporting this year. This is a charitable foundation under the auspices of Guy�s and St. Thomas� hospitals. We can all learn a little more about this disorder and be made aware of how the money we raise will be used. Carys Williams will give a report on her visit to the National Eisteddfod held in Bala. Following an interlude for �Cheese and Wine�, Brian Thomas will give a short talk on a famous Welshman. The committee will be responsible for the refreshments and raffle prizes will be provided by Maureen Byatt, Mair Thomas, Enid Morris and David Brown. We hope to see a full Chapter House for this meeting! |
| Cofion Cynnes, Mair Thomas |
| Annwyl Gyfeillion, Dear Friends, |
| It only seems like yesterday that I was wishing you all a happy holiday but here we are preparing for our autumn activities once again. Details of the first monthly meeting of our �new year� are listed below: |
| CHARITY FUND RAISING UPDATE CHARITY GARDEN PARTY June 27th 2009. 46 members and 8 children attended this most successful event. We are indebted to Shirley and Don Moody for the warmth of their hospitality and for allowing us to use their delightful garden. The sum of �493.22 was raised at this function and this was a brilliant start to raising funds for the President�s Charity which is MPD Support. Sincere thanks are offered to all those who supported this event. PRESIDENT�S CHARITY LUNCH. Shirley Moody is hosting this event at her home, Radley Green Farm on Friday, 23rd October 2009 at 1pm. The cost of the lunch is �10. If you are interested in attending please give your name to Shirley at the September meeting or phone her on 01245-248178. Steven Frank, the speaker at the October meeting, will be at the lunch. PRESIDENT�S CHARITY CONCERT. The concert will be held at St. Michael and All Saints Church, Roxwell, on Saturday, 14th November 2009 at 7.30pm. �The People of the Green and Friends� are performing � they are a well known local choir and orchestra. The Mayor and Mayoress of Chelmsford will be attending this event. Refreshments of mulled wine will be served during the interval. Tickets costing �8 are now available from Eddie Alcock and they will be on sale at the September meeting or you can send a cheque to Eddie at 5 Elms Drive, Chelmsford CM1 1RH. We are appealing to our members to make an effort to support this event as attendance at last year�s charity concert was disappointing.
