Today is the Day

Today marks just 36-days left until the end of 2023. How will you fill the time? Well, if you’re a Club Member – take the opportunity to attend the Club’s Annual General Meeting (AGM). It will be held on Tuesday 28th November at 2:00pm.

Today is also the United Nations’ International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. The day starts 16-days of activism under the Secretary General’s UNITE campaign that is managed by UN Women. Click on the link if you’d like to learn more about the campaign.

A Rare Flower

Arthur Peake

Here is a sighting of the rare plant known as the Arthurius Flat-Capped Not-Weed, hidden amongst the more usual run-of-the-mill flowers yet equally colourful. This one is in peak condition. Also, when planted in borders, or containers, they can perform for many, many years.

7-Day Countdown

A reminder to Members that the Club’s Annual General Meeting will be held next Tuesday, 28th November 2023, at Craig y Don Community Centre. Hopefully you are doing the suggested exercises in the meantime so that you are in peak condition to be ready to vote, and otherwise fully participate in the event.

Life Imitates Art

Some of our members, perhaps practising to take part in an Antony Gormley Appreciation Event, whereby everyone emulates one of his 100 cast-iron statues from his artwork entitled: “Another Place” on Crosby Beach.

Top Marks?

Some actors and/or other well known people have provided us with some amusing thoughts over the years. This is one of them:
