meeting on Sunday 20th December at <a href=\"https:\/\/thelounges.co.uk\/morro\/\">Morro Lounge<\/a> in Richmond.\u00a0 This was attended by 7 members, who share a pre-Christmas chat and cuppa.<\/p>\n<h3>Remembrance Day<\/h3>\n<p>Our President, Babs Hunt, represented the club at the annual Remembrance Service in Richmond.\u00a0 She laid a wreath at the War Memorial on our behalf alongside those presented by the many military and civilian organisations attending.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/richmond-and-dales\/files\/2023\/12\/Babs-with-Poppy-Wreath.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5177\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/richmond-and-dales\/files\/2023\/12\/Babs-with-Poppy-Wreath-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Wreath laying on Remembrance day\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/richmond-and-dales\/files\/2023\/12\/Babs-with-Poppy-Wreath-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/richmond-and-dales\/files\/2023\/12\/Babs-with-Poppy-Wreath.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Presentation at Regional Meeting<\/h3>\n<p>Babs also spoke at the Yorkshire Regional Meeting in November.\u00a0 It was our club&#8217;s invitation to present our Programme Action, and Babs did a fine job.\u00a0 She began with the Sharing our Skills project, in which her daughter took part.\u00a0 This introduced her mum to the club of which she is both President and Treasurer!\u00a0 She highlighted the students&#8217; contribution to our <a href=\"https:\/\/toilettwinning.org\/\">Toilet Twinning<\/a> of Richmond, and ended with our current work on the 16 Days Campaign.\u00a0 \u00a0Reading out the poem written for this project by our new member, Lorna had considerable impact, with requests to be allowed to use it from other clubs.<\/p>\n<h3>November Meeting<\/h3>\n<p>We were very pleased to be able to welcome 3 new members to our meeting in November.\u00a0 The meeting was held at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colburnhub.org\/\">Colburn Community Hub<\/a>, with a meal cooked for us by the Community Cafe volunteers.\u00a0 Instead of a speaker, member Wendy Arrowsmith did an interview with Angie Dale, the stalwart activist and supporter of the Colburn Hub, and dedicated independent local politician.\u00a0 We heard the diverting and at times difficult story of Angie\u2019s upbringing in Colburn, her career in the army, and her journey through public service locally.\u00a0 Her dedication to the local community, especially those struggling to make ends meet, is inspirational.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the club brought donations of food for the Colburn Foodshare scheme, and voted to fund a donation of further items for Christmas Food Hampers.\u00a0 Some hundreds of these hampers are given to the needy in the district.\u00a0 Two members of the club went shopping and took our donation to Colburn of \u00a395:00 of goodies.\u00a0 Both donations included Fray Bentos tinned pies, which are particularly popular with clients.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5178\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5178\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/richmond-and-dales\/files\/2023\/12\/Angie-food-donation-2-rotated.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5178 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/richmond-and-dales\/files\/2023\/12\/Angie-food-donation-2-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Food donated to Colburn foodshare\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/richmond-and-dales\/files\/2023\/12\/Angie-food-donation-2-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/richmond-and-dales\/files\/2023\/12\/Angie-food-donation-2-rotated.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5178\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Donations to Foodshare<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5179\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5179\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/richmond-and-dales\/files\/2023\/12\/Christmas-boxes-food-donation.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5179\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/richmond-and-dales\/files\/2023\/12\/Christmas-boxes-food-donation-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas hamper contributions\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/richmond-and-dales\/files\/2023\/12\/Christmas-boxes-food-donation-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/richmond-and-dales\/files\/2023\/12\/Christmas-boxes-food-donation.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5179\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Christmas hamper contributions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Having received more repayments on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.careinternational.org.uk\/\">LendWithCare<\/a> loans, we have been able to make two further loans.\u00a0 These went to a group of lady traders in Malawi, and a lady farmer in Cambodia.\u00a0 This is such a wonderful way of making our charity money go further, and keep doing good.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we were delighted to hear from new member Lorna that she is to revive the Reminiscences project.\u00a0 This was set up some years ago by our late long-standing member Sheila Harrisson.\u00a0 The project involves visiting care homes and similar establishments to encourage their residents to share memories about their lives with us and each other.\u00a0 This is done in conjunction with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.richmondshiremuseum.org.uk\/\">Richmondshire Museum<\/a>, which provides boxes of historical objects from their collection, which stimulate conversations.\u00a0 Lorna will be having a &#8216;trial run&#8217;
