AUTUMN LEAVES FIRST THURSDAY CLUB

We have been up and running now for
six months in our new format on our
new day the first Thursday of the month.
The organizers have been very pleased
with the talks and members keep
coming back and we get new faces all
the time. It is important to get together
for a laugh and chat and a tea.
In October Steve Belasco gave us a
talk on the Dorset Coast. Not the talk I
had hoped for but he bought us
another one still on the Dorset Coast. I hope members enjoyed it.

I think we will have him back later next year for the original planned talk with a
microphone. The pictures, coupled with Steve’s knowledge of history and wildlife
on the coast was fascinating. We are putting together next year’s programme
and need ideas and volunteers. Steve’s talk was followed by tea including cake
and sandwiches.
On Thursday 3 November Its Party time.

The Autumn leaves was started fifty
years ago by Kath Jeeves to provide an
opportunity for people to meet up for
tea and a talk and other fun activities
and it kept going right up until the
Pandemic. We are going to have a look
back over the history of this club, all
those trips by coach to Sidmouth,
concerts, meetings fun and laughter.
We will be having a special tea with
music and entertainment remembering
what a fantastic club this is and why in these difficult times, we should still get out,
and meet people. I get days when I stay in watch the news, think about it, and
wonder where we will all end up. If you go out and meet friends you feel more
positive and optimistic and you have things to look forward to.
Please come along to our Party at the Scout hut on 3 November at 2. 30 p.m.

You do not have to be a member. We will mark the Birthday of our club the
original Autumn Leaves. We can remember these early pioneers, what they got
up to and think positively about the next fifty years.
