POWERtalk Pollokshields Meeting 24th October 2011


With Halloween just a week away, it seems that the dark days of October have put a hex on our Club!

Unfortunately this week a number of our members and our guest speaker could not make our meeting due to ill health or prior commitments. Our President, Iris Gibson, was one of those who succumbed but Louise Laing, our Treasurer, took over and ably chaired the meeting.

Undeterred the rest of the Club members all pulled together and we had a very good evening.

Our Inspiration and Topics given by Roz Keenan, were of course all Halloween related and with our guest speaker unable to attend, our newest member, Brendan Keenan, stood in, giving us a wonderful impromptu speech on repainting, and on the general restoration of St. Andrews Cathedral in Glasgow. We learned a little of the art of tromphe l'oeil, regilding and found that Pollokshields has provided quite a lot of artistic imput into the restoration!

Our business meeting was a little truncated but we are all looking forward to our next meeting - Halloween hex duly lifted - on the 7th November at 7.15 in Pollokshields Burgh Hall. You are very welcome to join us then.
