St. Pauls Ladies Group treasurer, Mrs Jill Senior, was the speaker at the meeting on 12 October, when she gave an account of two holidays taken this year

The first trip, to celebrate a special birthday for Mrs Senior herself, was to Salzburg. She gave a description of the Old Town and of a tour of the lakes and mountains which included St. Wolfgang and the White Horse Inn.

The second holiday was to a hotel near Gloucester, to celebrate the 80th birthday of Mrs Senior's father. A large family group, with ages ranging from four years to 80, assembled for the birthday celebrations.

The highlight was when a professional photographer arrived to take a family portrait as a present for her father. Prior to Mrs Senior's talk, the group had discussed the arrangements for their autumn fair, which will take place in the Parish Room at St. Pauls Church on Saturday, October 30, between 10am and 2pm.
