Snowfalls and cold weather didn’t stop our members coming along to the meeting in
January to hear Professor Philip Gallimore, a renowned cancer specialist, talk about
his research into this disease. Since the discovery of the humane genome, DNA, there
is more understanding of how cancers grow in the body and therefore great advances
have been made in treatments and some vaccines. Members came away with plenty of
information and good advice on the importance of early screening. If in doubt, see
your doctor straight away!!
Tastebuds were tickled a-plenty at our February meeting where chef Rob Wall gave
a demonstration of kitchen skills and vegetable preparation which were a feast for
the eyes and butcher John Price answered members' questions on how French cuts of
meat differ to English. The meeting culminated in an enthusiastic tasting sessions
of pork pies, sausages, crudites and delicious dips!
Line dancing with the Leggies ladies - what a fun day we had at our March meeting
when Vivienne Gane tried to get us all finger-clicking and foot-stomping in unison!
Some members discovered their natural dance skills whilst others complained about
their 'two left feet' .... but there was laughter a-plenty as we swished, clapped,
side-stepped and often collided with each other. A memorable meeting and our efforts
were rewarded by tea and a large slice of Nina's delicious cake.
