Vacancies   
The position of Social Secretary is still vacant.    This position could be filled by a Lady of the branch.  In the absence of a social secretary this task falls to the committee to arrange so any ideas for entertainment of any sort would be most welcome.

Monthly Informal Lunches
As usual held on the first Tuesday, menu lists on the table at evening meetings. Contact John Cusack for any information or to book/choose from menu if not at meeting.

Annual Lunch 5th May 2018
This is at the Cumberland Hotel, Bournemouth, as usual, at a cost of £20 per person for 3 courses including wine, and coffee and mints.  The menu is attached and is also available from Bob Perry.  Bookings should be made to Bob by the end of February.  We hope to see many of you and our New Forest colleagues joining us for this very enjoyable occasion.    
 
Birthdays of Note  We wish a very Happy Birthday this month to Alec Musgreave who will be 75 on the 11th of February.

Social
The Christmas Evening meeting was well attended and much enjoyed by everyone. The entertainment by the Easy Swing Duo (and John and Val) was excellent and the buffet provided by Gwen and Wendy was delicious.
