At East Grinstead’s Club meeting on Wednesday, September 20th, members were delighted to welcome and induct four new members; Gill Beeney, Aileen Hargreaves, Kate Benstead, and Angela Sharpe, pictured with President Jane Griffiths (centre). All of them have attended meetings and functions over the past few months and we are so pleased that they have been encouraged to join us. We look forward to working with them.
On September 23rd Members gathered at the Holiday Inn, Wrotham, for our 64th Regional Annual General Meeting. President Lynne welcomed us all to her last Regional Meeting, as her year in office ends at the London Conference. At the final part of the day, it was time for Annette to announce the first winners of the Grace Onions ‘Our Planet, Our Future’ Award. The very worthy winners chosen were SI East Grinstead who have supported biodiversity and reducing climate change over many years. Many members have contributed across a range of positive projects working in partnership with many organisations and which continue to evolve. Well done to East Grinstead members
