Members at the December meeting were reminded of the carol concert in Kidderminster Town Hall on December 7 and the group carol concert in St Peter's Church, Cookley.

The speaker was Margaret Cook, who showed slides from the years she and her husband spent in China after the firm he worked for asked him to open up a factory there.

Brenda Gill won the competition.

A party will be held in January, when members are asked to bring a wine glass, a knife, fork and spoon, small plate and dish.
