EWSNEWS October 2024
The story so far:
Friday 20 September. Croeso supper party at Mortonhall Golf Club at 7.30pm.
Our opening supper party was very much enjoyed by all. We welcomed a lovely new family and greeted old friends. After a generous and very tasty buffet (with extras to take away in boxes provided) we were invited to take turns to place a sticky dot on a map of the world to mark a place we had visited. It is obvious that we are a well-travelled group and the many adventures were fascinating.
For the full story of the evening, with photographs, I recommend you visit this post. A big thank you to our webmaster, Martin Tarr for his report. We rounded off the evening with community singing led by Huw Thomas.
Forthcoming events:
Sunday 27 October. Harvest Thanksgiving Service in the large hall at Reid Memorial Church at 3.00pm.
Our Harvest service will be an opportunity to give thanks, with hymns and readings, and to contribute to the local food bank, for which donations of tinned and dry goods (and toiletries such as toothpaste) are invited. We always receive a lovely thank-you note for our contribution to this very important cause.
The service will be followed by a chance to chat around the tea trolley.
Friday 29 November. St Andrew’s Night party. Priestfield Church hall at 7.30pm.
Supper and entertainment to brighten the dark evening. Full details of this annual event will be found in my next EWSNEWS, but please make sure it is in your diary.
