There was no AGM and Conference in 2020

AGM and Conference Hinsley Hall

3rd -6th September 2021

We arrived during the Friday afternoon, delighted to see each other again for a cup of tea or coffee in the lounge

Later on some energetic souls chose to do some Pilates/Zumba in the Margaret Clitheroe Room.

Dinner at 7pm followed by Parlour Games organised by Lorraine in the Lounge

What do we have to do?

When in doubt ask a friend!

On Saturday morning we went to Knaresborough. The last time we went we had torrential rain but this time the weather was benign.

Here is a picture of members getting off the bus instead of getting on!

Old Mother Shipton is still there……

….as is the Castle!

We returned for lunch.

Afterwards the Direct Members had their meeting followed by the AGM for us all.

We then had Evening Prayer in the Chapel
