Vida Sutton
Grumbolds Ash Group
We had a delightful evening with Doris Highfield at her home on 12th March, all enjoying the American Supper with a superb variety of food. She had some exciting news for us: On 27th March the Queen is giving a reception at Buckingham Palace for the launch of ?Cancer Research UK? to which Doris has been invited. She is a member of the Nailsworth Committee for this charity, putting in a lot of time and effort to raise funds, and we are all delighted for her and look forward to hearing all about it.
Our next meeting is at the home of Jane Bateman, Bumpers Isle, Bagpath, at 6.30 pm on Tuesday 16th April when Jane will demonstrate the art of floral arrangements including hanging baskets.

Sue Bradley-Jones
New Churchyard Mower
Last year the mowing team of Kay Brightley, Richard Waller, Lutz Wagner and Harry Tubbs had a difficult time due to the persistent unreliability of the existing machine, in spite of £300 being spent on repairs and maintenance. We have concluded that we need a new machine and the Hayterette has been recommended.
The PCC cannot pay for this at present and any donations towards it would be greatly appreciated. It is emphasised that the machine will only be used for churchyard mowing.
