July - September 2016
We enjoyed a day out in July with a trip on the Basingstoke Canal to
Odiham (King John's) Castle followed by a ride on the Watercress Line
from Alresford with afternoon tea. Some of our members also went to
Oxford Theatre to see “The Glenn Miller Story”.
At our July monthly meeting we had an
entertaining talk on “Curiosities in the Peak District” by Alan
Copeland. He showed us some unusual slides and told us all about
them, the strangest one being perhaps a pub sign of a headless woman
entitled “The Quiet Woman”.
In August Ellie Dickens from Hungerford
gave a fascinating talk on the Relationship between Shoes and Feet.
She had brought along plenty of shoes to show us different styles and
fittings and also told us much about the history of shoes. She also
gave advice about styles for problem feet and afterwards many of us
had our feet measured.
For our September meeting Alan Gould
from Henry Street Garden Centre gave a very interesting talk on
Gardening in Autumn and answered our questions and we all came away
having learnt something we didn't already know about gardening.
