'Cotswold Wardens' was the subject of our talk at the November Meeting. It was well presented by Vivienne McGhee. The Wardens had to acquire many skills such as dry stone walling, hedge laying and leading walks to name but a few. All this voluntary work contributes to keeping the Cotswolds 'An area of outstanding Natural Beauty'. Vivienne was warmly thanked by Gill Thomas.

Our new committee was introduced by our president, Jenny McLeish. Jenny continues as president with Mary Osborne as secretary and June Haycock as treasurer. Veronica Cook, Jana Foist, Susan Lees and Brenda Whittigham completed the committee. June was thanked for arranging the Christmas Party at Broadway Golf Club on December 8 and members were asked to give their names if they wished to go and to choose from the menu before November 27.
