5 February 2021 - Virtual Meetings and Welcome
Hi everyone,
In a recent Newsbite I asked if you would let me know what you or your club/society/organisation were doing to combat the lockdown blues, and that I would do my best to publish all replies, first names only, to bring a spot of good cheer. I would like to thank everyone who responded so generously to this appeal. Well, I’d like to thank them, but in fact nobody responded. This clearly demonstrates the power of advertising.
However, there was a virtual meeting of the SP Village WI last Wednesday afternoon when about 24 ladies gathered on-screen to conduct their business and enjoy one another’s company. It has been a very long time since they have been able to meet as a group so this was a welcome addition.
I can’t see virtual monthly Mission Hall Coffee Mornings taking off though. Partaking of refreshments on your own, even with other people on-screen, is definitely not the same as the real thing. Especially with no cheese scones on offer.
Last but not least a warm welcome to those who have recently moved into the village. It is not always this quiet, and we look forward to meeting you when the usual full calendar of events restarts hopefully in the near future.
Stay safe and smiling
Chris
