What a brilliant start to the new club year. We inducted a new ‘linked’ member, Lynne, had an excellent guest speaker, and a lively and stimulating discussion about Programme Action plans, our November Charter l.unch and our outing to Bradley Gardens. Our guest speaker was Rie Pearson , a retired police officer, who gave a presentation about her book; ‘Be Kind. No Excuses.’ This is a guide to help teenage girls recognise abusive behaviours in intimate relationships. Needless to say, it stimulated a wide ranging discussion!
