Coffee pots and Gardens

Coffee Pots

Hello Coffee Potters, I hope you are all well and have managed to get your vaccinations!

Following the relaxation of the rules after 17 May, and in the hope that there will be more changes on 21 June, we would like to restart our weekly meetings. These will be fairly low key and will be in gardens if the weather is OK. It will be lovely to see you again after a gap of 15 months but if you are at all anxious or concerned and prefer to stay away for the time being we will understand.

As you may know, Gillian (Howarth) and her husband moved to Minchinhampton, Glos., at Christmas and I have been asked to take her place as Chair. The first meeting on 23 June will be at my home, 2 Manor Park, Great Somerford, but obviously this may have to be changed – so we will keep a close eye on developments over the coming weeks and be guided by the Prime Minister ’s statement on 14 June.
