The Carlisle weekend was opened on Saturday morning by our President, Linda Griffin and the first item on the Agenda was the Business Meeting.
The Saturday morning workshop was by Iris Gibson and was on "Lateral Thinking". This had all the members working hard and everyone enjoyed this plus they got some new ideas.Following an excellent Buffet lunch Margaret Emery conducted the Speech Contest.
The winners were Laurence Coates and Colin Grey.
Saturday evening brought all the members and guests to the Hallmark Hotel for Dinner.
The first item on the agenda was Topics by Margaret Robertson with the theme of Poetry.
Following Dinner, Liz Duncan ran a Lifeboat Contest with such characters as Marilyn Munro, Doris Day, Elizabeth Taylor, Katherine Hepburn and Minnie Mouse. The members entered into the spirit by dressing up.
The winner was Minnie Mouse (aka Ruth Maltman)
The first workshop on Sunday morning was a Writing Workshop by Marjorie Brooke who had all the members inventing characters for a short story. This was very stimulating and hopefully will encourage members to enter the Writing Contest.
Laurence Coates presented an excellent workshop entitled "The Missing Link" to inform members about the Blog. This was very useful to all.
Our lovely President Linda Griffin bids us all farewell at the end of the weekend.
