Message from our Secretary
Ladies, you have spoilt me with this wonderful gift. It is a stunning hydrangea and in a lovely earthenware pot.
I am so sorry I was unwell and could not attend the AGM. I was really upset as I was keen to present my last report! But in honesty I was coughing so badly I wouldn’t have got through the first line!
I have enjoyed being the Secretary for the last 6 years. Lovedean is a special institute, and I know that the new committee will take it forward in leaps and bounds. I am hanging on to the editor role of the newsletter, so I will still nag you for photos and info!
