President Lynne Tuckley, SI Cannock, welcomed everyone to the October meeting when members enjoyed a fun evening with East Staffordshire speaker Pat Hall who entertained with her talk called ‘Isn’t Life Funny’. She interspersed funny tales and anecdotes from various speaking engagements with her own hilarious poems and had the audience in fits of laughter throughout.
SI Cannock is now looking forward to their annual International Evening which this year has an Australian theme. Guests are welcome on Tuesday October 20th at The Barns, Cocksparrow Lane where the well known speaker, Dianne Mannering is going to talk about the early settlers in Australia who petitioned the British Government to ‘Send Us Some Women’. Tickets cost £18.50 and are available by phoning 07971 494510.
A special guest that evening will be Carol Bailey, Region President of SI Midland Chase and a member of SI Wolverhampton – this will be Carol’s last official engagement of the year, she relinquishes her role as Region President at the SI Great Britain and Ireland [SIGBI] conference to be held in Glasgow in November.
Funds raised from a raffle at the International Evening will be donated to the SI Emergency Fund, used to send aid to disaster areas in the world as soon as required.
