Christmas Chairman’s notes from Winter Magazine 2025
Christmas is now on us, the year has been one of the warmest this century and it’s been great, I’ve never wore shorts so much, if fact I was still wearing them in October. Mind you, we haven’t met January yet and winter. The short days are with us and makes us very reflective on what has gone on during the past year. Members of our Society have passed away including my own son. Life is very precious as we get older, so we hang onto memories but strive to carry on daily life.
We had a great day out at Chester for the winter market, all thanks to Pam for organising the trip. The October Open Day went down well, our theme was mining with new articles that were donated to the society. We met many new people. Many thanks to all that attended.
Even though I tried to step-down within the society earlier in the year, I’m standing firm as Chairman for the moment. I want to thank all of our members for the support throughout the year. We’ve had some great speakers throughout the year and look forward to welcoming more in the new year. Every month we are getting more members joining and coming to the Coffee Mornings, it’s a great opportunity to catch up with everyone. Also thanks to the Committee for their help over the year and their dedication to the society and our members.
Winter Magazine is now available to members as part of their membership. Non-Members can buy the magazine for £2 from a member of the committee.
