Jean Johnson (Cuthew), 1951-56

​

Some of our members will have noticed that this year we have made a real effort to arrange many different occasions for members to meet. In fact, we are proud of the fact that an event was arranged for nearly every month from February to October.
 

We had breakfast at the Crown Pub in Lexden one Saturday, Coffee at the Officers’ Club and the annual visit to our favourite Chinese Restaurant, Bamboo House. It was whilst we were enjoying cakes at the Officers’ Club that some of us agreed that, as much as we were enjoying the cakes, we would perhaps occasionally prefer a sausage roll. Hence the Coffee Morning at my house, where Mary made delicious cakes, I made cheese scones and the pièce de résistance was a vast quantity of warm sausage rolls from Greggs (below – enjoyed by Jean!)

We had an Open Morning to meet for coffee on the terrace at Greyfriars, which we will repeat, mainly because it’s so little bother for me, your Events Organizer, to arrange, as everyone paid for their own order!

​

Once again we are grateful to Liz and Di for hosting and providing the usual lovely afternoon tea at the Garden Party in August.

Likewise for providing the catering at the Annual General Meeting at the School in early September (above).  On that occasion we were very happy to have Kate Stubbs (the Marketing & Communications Manager at the School) give us news of the School. For many of us it was enjoyable to have the opportunity to visit the School and hear all about the new developments.

​​

At the time of writing this, we still have one more event arranged - a Coffee Morning at Greyfriars.  Sadly, our numbers participating at events are a little lower than last year, but we hope that if we can offer another full programme next year more of you will be able to join us.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
