We welcome new member Lesley Rackham.  It is with sadness we note the sudden death of Malcolm Lake.  The outing to the Brick Kilns was enjoyed by those who were able to attend. Part of the cost of the outing came from donations that had been made to the day centre. We thank Kathy for making trips to the restaurant required to organise the event.    We are looking forward to the visit by Kyle as part of our Platinum Jubilee celebrations on the 31st May
