BRIAN Askew, a new member of the British Acupuncture Society, gave an excellent talk to our guild at the October meeting.

Acupuncture has been around for about 3,500 years.

The Chinese are credited with starting it for treatment of many illnesses, such as morning sickness, some types of backache, joint mobility, depression, migraine, skin disorders and more.

The next meeting for the guild is on Thursday, November 26, at the Young People’s Leisure Club, Droitwich Road, when the annual Christmas party will take place.
