October 2020

The group held another “Zoom” meeting on Wednesday 7th October, unfortunately only a few members were able to attend. We had a lively discussion on the previous work subject of “Invent a superhero” and people’s different approach to the subject was noticeable from the work published on “Slack”. Karen told us that she had recently given a talk on her ancestry and this led to discussion by other members, about their own ancestry, with some surprising disclosures about genes within their family. In respect of the next AGM due in November, it was decidedthat, due to present circumstances, it may be better for present officers to keep their roles for the time being but if anyone wished to step down, they should inform the Secretary by email or “Slack” or at the next meeting and volunteers, for replacement, would be sought. It was also suggested that the yearly accounts should be delayed until we can meet in person or arrangements can made to discuss them on “Zoom”. Homework for

October was set as “Family True” fact or fiction up to 500 words. Whether, it is a “bluff” or not to be found out at our next meeting “Sounds interesting”. Details of the next meeting will be provided by the Secretary nearer the time. Hope to see you there Eric Newton Vice Chairman
