WE ARE now into the second half of the year and we have had a really good variety of speakers.
September: Mr Fred Bull talked, and sho~tie~ s~5des,of Aberdeen-nethere but in all parts of the world. Mr Bull has written a book on this subject and it has proved very successful.
October. Miss Catherine Taylor, from Central Library, also had Aberdeen as her subject but this time it was our own Aberdeen, mostly in bygone times. It was amazing (and sometimes disheartening) to see the changes that have come about in the centre of our city.
November: Mr Paul Smith, butcher from Skene, explained about the different cuts of beef. We came away more knowledgeable than when we arrived. There truly is a knack in preparing meat for our tables.
December: We had a very enjoyable Christmas meal at the Old Mill Inn, Maryculter.
January: Mrs Eileen Morrison entertained us with a Musical Evening, which was really enjoyed by all members.
At our May meeting, it is hoped to hear about the work of the Red Cross, the members of which have been even busier for the past few months with the disaster on Boxing Day.
Our meetings are held on the lst: Thursday of the month in the Playgroup Room of the Community Centre, North Deeside Road. We would welcome any new members to our group.
