May Newsletter 2026 part two

Parish Notices.: -

1. Please note that we have, up to now, managed to cover the costs of our monthly BBQ get together though our membership fees. After discussion at the last Committee meeting, it was agreed that this monthly event is very important, enabling all members to get together socially and should remain part of the WMS programme of events. However, with the monthly costs of food rising through inflation, it was proposed and agreed at the meeting that a nominal charge of £1:00 per head be charged for our future monthly BBQ’s. An honesty box will be available at the BBQ. We don’t intend to go around asking for the £1:00 but hope you will agree that this is a worthwhile answer in keeping the BBQ.

2. With an obligation to ensure all members are safe in the workshops it must be emphasised that the wearing of open toed shoes is inviting an accident and is strongly ill advised.

3. Recently a laptop was donated to the WMS in full working order. It would be ideal for a laptop beginner. Any member interested please contact Pete Sanders as it is currently held in the electrical workshop.
