February Institute meeting

 We welcomed four guests and our speaker, John Ashford who very kindly stepped in at the last minute to talk to us about ‘One Man’s Lifeboat’. It was very entertaining and interesting. Lots of us will be looking for the Monkey on Channel 5!

Many events were mentioned, those from DFWI have been emailed to all by Mary Hall. There is interest in line dancing and a mosaic workshop, so we will organise those. There is another Dabble Day full of delightful items to craft on Wednesday 22nd March and a silver pendant and ear rings workshop on Tuesday 28th March. Lynn described the Group meeting on the afternoon of Wednesday 29th March: a Treasure Hunt ending with an afternoon tea. Volunteers are needed to make and serve the afternoon tea, to marshall the treasure hunters and we will need two teams of four to take part in the treasure hunt! Please contact Lynn Asher if you would like to join in! #BrixhamWIontour  Lynn also listed some of the theatre events she has been asked to organise: an Agatha Christie type spoof play and  Simon and Garfunkel tribute. 

The next events to book with her are at the English Riviera Literature Festival held at the Palace Theatre in Paignton: Thursday 16th March, morning “Turning to Crime” a talk by the author Stephanie Austin and /or “Mary Shelley’s Lost Torquay Novel” a talk by Emma Seaman starting at 2 on the same day.  Both cost £5 If we fancy doing both, perhaps we might go for lunch somewhere in Paignton? Book Share members have already discussed this!
