PETER

Very sadly, as most of you will know, our President and founder Peter Watson died recently.  Although Peter has been quite seriously ill for some time, his death was unexpected.   

          Our thoughts go to Margaret and her family.

Peter thought of us as his extended family and was very keen to see that all the Group members achieved their goals as dowsers. His interest in dowsing was very broad, enjoying every branch with a lively and youthful interest.  He became a very well know and well respected figure in the dowsing world, particularly as a speaker and active helper for those who called on his experience.

Of course we will miss him, and he will probably be keeping an eye on our proceedings. Maybe we’ll feel a gentle nudge now and again. A donation, is being made in lieu of flowers

PROGRAMME FOR 2005

The programme is coming together and Richard will be confirming the programme shortly.

 --------------------------------------

CHRISTMAS DINNER

Forty of us got together on 9th of December to sample the great cooking of the W.I. , and we were not  disappointed.  We had a great meal, in the very good company of our Group friends and their guests.

We were very sorry to miss those of you who couldn’t make it... next year maybe ?

Thanks to eveyone who helped to make it a very nice evening.  Special thanks, of course, to the ladies of Aston Ingham W.I.

REFRESHMENT DUTY  

Sue Jones has passed on the duty of Refreshment Coordinator to Georgina Ablett.

We thank Sue for the great job she has done over the last year (and for her patience) We must make sure that Georgina has all the help she needs at the monthly meetings.

As you old hands know, the refreshment coordinator (Georgina) organises the victuals ( tea, coffee, biscuits etc.) for our monthly meetings and makes sure that the refreshment team swing into action at the appropriate moment !  Of course, the galley has to be spick and span again at the end of the evening.

We all enjoy the social opportunity this “cuppa time” gives us to meet and talk.  Mostly, we all like to help out with this arrangement when we can.

  SUBSCRIPTIONS

£15 joint, £10 single and £5 associate (distant) member.

SUBSCRIPTIONS WERE DUE AT THE A.G.M. Cheques  to “South Herefordshire Dowsers” please

 --------------------------------------

DON’T FORGET YOUR FRIENDS ! Our monthly meetings are a mixture of things. We hope above everything that you all enjoy the social occasion.  The evening will have a focus of course, and we  get some very interesting and well known speakers to entertain and enlighten us.

Anyway, what I’m leading up to is....why not bring a friend or two to a meeting now and again.....you know that they will be made very welcome.
