The month began with members planting a tree in memory of much loved past member Shirley Rosevear in the grounds of Little Harbour the Children’s Hospice. Shirley and Howard donated the land for the building. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and member Pauline Giles spoke to the club of the current activities of her charity Bosom Buddies. We welcomed new member Shirley Ho Clemo. Members who sew, had a lesson from Nicola one of our Unsung Heroine Award winners and made up cushions from patchwork created in Kosovo, the cushions are sold and all proceeds returned to Hatemja a young widow bringing up 6 children. On the last Saturday of the month we held an Autumn Craft Fayre in Charlestown Hall raising money from stalls and food for our local women Refuges. Almost all members were able to put in an appearance and with support from the general public we raised £1,300.
