The chairman welcomed everyone to the September meeting and the speaker Bob Collis. Apologies from those unable to attend were read out. Six members had been on a weekend break to St Annes and on a trip to the Lake District on the Saturday, stopped for a while in Windermere and were able to meet up with Babs and Stan Bensley, who until they moved to Windermere had been members of the wine circle.
