Branch Meetings
Meetings are held on 2nd Thursday of each month at
Lancing Parish Hall, South Street, Lancing, West
Sussex.
For Satellite meetings, contact Trixie Folkard.
All members are welcome to attend.
Condolences
The Branch extends it’s condolences to Mary Jones on the sad
loss of Frank who passed away recently. Frank was a member of the
Finance Committee from 1979 to 1997 with Court Sussex Elm and then
became Branch Auditor when the new Southdowns Branch was formed in
1997, a position which he then held until now. Frank will be sadly
missed by all.
Foil
I am still collecting foil in aid of Guide Dogs For The Blind.
Many thanks to all of you who regularly donate foil to this worthy
cause. All contributions welcome. – Barry Cole (Foil Chairman).
Stampede
If you
want to spend a therapeutic few hours trimming stamps or can help
in any other way, please contact me on 01903
877363.
It is becoming increasingly more difficult to source used
stamps so I would appreciate it if you could save your used stamps
and pass them on to me or any Branch officer.
All stamps are sold and the money goes to our main charity –
Sheila Hall (Stampede Chair).
