Despite the problems at the beginning of the meeting when our own Greg did amazing work getting everything sorted out; we had a marvellous afternoon.
David Amos presented ‘Part 1’ of the History of Annesley and the village, explaining that he had far too much to tell us in one hour. Didn’t we all enjoy the images and the words that went with them? There were comments saying it was one of the best talks we had ever had. I will try to book David again next year for ‘Part 2’.
Sue, Kathy and I were left checking all was well after the meeting when an assistant from the Sue Ryder shop fetched us outside. Maureen Beresford had fallen badly hurting her hand and arm. Luckily Sue Ryder staff and Kathy’s husband David saw her fall and came to help. David and Kathy tried to get an ambulance but in the end, they took her up to Kings Mill in the car. Sometimes we can feel so lucky to live in Hucknall – quite a few people that day should be listed as good Samaritans.
There is no indoor meeting next month as we are off to visit Wellow – meet on Ogle Street 11am: there are a few places left – see Kathy, Sue or myself if you would like to go.
If you are not on the trip, remember there are no meetings in July or August so I will see you all at Central Methodist on 18th September when Robert Mee will tell us all about the ‘History Along the Erewash Valley Trail’.
