JOYDENS WOOD ACTIVE RETIREMENT ASSOCIATION (JARA)

The June meeting of JARA was their AGM. The group is now beginning their fourth year. The chairman Alan Challis was again voted in as Chairman for an-other year together with most of the existing committee.

John Morgan, who had been treasurer since the group’s formation, decided not to stand again and a new treasurer was appointed.

After the formal part of the meeting there were three presentations. John Morgan was given a gift and his wife was presented with a flower arrangement. Jean Radford, who also stepped down from the committee after three years, was also presented with chocolates and a flower arrangement.

The chairman then made a personal presentation to the secretary, Maureen Wheeler, thanking her for her help and support during the last three years. She received a bouquet of flowers.

After a break for refreshments, members were entertained by Jeff Wayne, who with his Irish wit and beautiful singing voice ended the afternoon on a perfect note.
