Angela Millard is organising a social to be held in early June. It will be in Church House - 7 to 11.30 and admission 1/6. Plans are being made for some novelties.

The Group has undertaken to cut the grass in the Minster churchyard. Already one night has been spent with clippers, shears and motor-mower. nobody can say we let the grass grow under our feet.

On Thursday May 17th the group are collecting for the National Playing Fields Association at the Tivoli Cinema, where a film on their work is being shown.

The use of the Notice Board is being revived. With so many activities in different places at other than normal times have made this a necessity. The old "Forms 8" are once again being used for the notice board at the Albion Hotel and a diary of activities is being kept.

We hope members will use the notice board in the Town centre more because it will be a long journey to the club-room in the Autumn.(What was a "Form 8"? - Willy)

TENNIS The group has hired a grass tennis court at Redcotts Recreation ground on Friday evenings. The charge is sixpence to those who play per evening. If less than 4/- is taken, the balance is to be collected from those who have played. This is to ensure we don't lose money as we have done in previous years. We hope Members will bring along any others who just want a game of tennis.

NEW FLAG Pat Brady reports from Bristol that the group flag is progressing well. We shall be pleased to see Pat's embroidery on the flagpole at the new Clubroom
