A few of our members had a practice on ‘Rupert’ (as we named him on the night). April was one of our founding members & was our previous President, always lovely to catch up with her. Thanks of course to Clare Du

A change to our scheduled speaker at this months meeting (Monday 8/6/26) as Peter Sykes was able to come along at short notice & tell us all about his time of being a Junior Hospital Doctor back in the 60’s.

Thanks to Clare Duffield who provided our lovely raffle but couldn’t make the meeting so Sheila steppe
