Handcross
On a more relaxed and friendly note: if you are into your knitting, the first meeting of the Knit & Natter group is today, Thursday, in Dudley House (next to the Hardware Shop) from 2.30pm. A small donation (say, £1.50/£2.00) is asked for to cover the cost of the homemade cakes and tea/coffee that is provided so if you are thinking of starting the year by getting out more and involved, why not take your first step with this group, I am sure they don’t bite!
Next Wednesday, 16 January, is a busy one: if you are a member of the Rosemary Club and Handcross Ladies as they are both holding their first meetings of the year then. The Rosemary Club will be meeting in All Saints Church (by the bridge on Horsham Road) from 2.30pm. Please remember that this is the meeting when subscriptions are due to be paid and at only £12.50 it is very good value as it covers the cost of all the monthly meetings, usually two outings during the course of the year and a catered Christmas lunch! Their speaker this month is from the auction house Toovey’s and members are welcome to take along an item for a free valuation – you never know that nic nac you bought at a car boot sale in the summer could be worth three times what you paid . . . . you don’t know unless you ask!

Hide AdHandcross Ladies will be meeting from 7.30pm upstairs in the Social Club due to the Parish Hall being closed. This meeting is their AGM so I would expect subscriptions will also need to be paid here which is £20 for the year. Once the business has been concluded, members will be entertained by Mr Ian Currie, the Editor of Weather Eye magazine, with a talk and slide show on Frost Fairs which should be interesting.
