MEMBERS are ready for the busy monthly meetings ahead.

Mr Julius Bannister started the year talking about his life after music, telling us secrets about his past in the D'Oyly Cart opera group.

He also talked about the many famous people he had worked with.

Mrs Pauline Dewark talked about how she became interested in antiques and the fortunes which may be lurking in our attics.

There are some great outings being arranged for a fun-packed spring and summer.

New members are welcome to join the institute.
