2023 April with Valerie
Our guest speaker, Valerie Skinner, was the intrepid 85 year old Mountaineer who has not finished climbing. She has scaled Mount Blanc a number of times as well as mountains in another seven countries.
The photographs of Valerie on top of ridges and mountains was breathtaking. No one was tempted to join her in her passion.

Busy 2023 March
Ellie Wilkie was our very humorous guest speaker at the March meeting. She showed some of her artwork and the short humorous poems that she wrote to accompany them. Our Easter Raffle was very popular with lots of prizes and our good news is that we have been so financially successful, that we now have seven Learning for Life students.
The major prize was won by Bernice, is holidaying overseas.
