It was our first night in our new room. We have been moved next door as the hotel now has a slimming class in our old room.
We had a wonderful turnout, and there were several guests in attendance.
Astrid was our Topicsmaster for the night. Her topics ranged from our favourite winter sports to the World Flower Show and beyond.
We had one speaker cancellation so we had three speeches for the night.
Pat, spoke about the slow food movement and extending it into slow reading and slow thinking. He highlighted the importance of savouring our reading time and finding worthwhile material to read rather than endless news and headlines.
Paul then told a story from Welsh myth. You can more about that here.
Finally, Frank gave a very detailed explanation of some of the science and myth around genetically modified foods with a very imaginatively titled 'The Bogeyman in the Fridge.
Our next meeting will be held on Wednesday 22nd January.
