A few interesting events are due as summer approaches and plans for these were put in place. They include afternoon tea at Jills house, a visit to the Lavender Farm and lunch at Sue's.
Resolutions were discussed . Lesley H addressed the Country Bus Resolution and Myrtle tackled the Pro's and Con's of Cervical Smear Tests
Both were unanimously passed although some slight change of wording was suggested for the resolution about smear tests.
We voted for discretion for both resolutions.

The butterflies are beginning to need counting up the Mendips!
Caroline Tetley and I and various others try to cover each week in the summer moths on a two hour walk up the Mendips counting and identifying these butterflies using a chart with pictures to help recognise each species
We started a fortnight ago and only saw three on each trip and these were peacocks and small tortoiseshell. However there will be many more very soon. It is a lovely thing to do to take this idyllic walk ;a little bit tough perhaps but very beautiful.
If you would like to join us please answer to my email address

Fire and Tempest at Wells Cathedral
There will be magnificent tempest and earthquake, spiritual battle and the voice of God at Wells Cathedral on 30th March, when Wells Cathedral Oratorio Society and the English Symphony Orchestra present Felix Mendelssohn’s Elijah.
The Oratorio Society will be joined by soloists Elizabeth Atherton (soprano), Katy Bray (mezzo soprano), Peter Auty (tenor) and Ben McAteer (bass) for this, one of the most important choral works of the nineteenth century in the great tradition of Bach and Handel. The Conductor is Matthew Owens.
Last performed by the Society in Wells in 2006, the audience can once again experience the power, excitement and tension of this epic musical drama telling the story of the prophet Elijah.
Felix Mendelssohn said, 1838: "I imagined Elijah as a real prophet through and through, of the kind we could really do with today: Strong, zealous and, yes, even bad-tempered, angry and brooding—in contrast to the riff-raff, whether of the court or the people, and indeed in contrast to almost the whole world—and yet borne aloft as if on angels’ wings."
Elijah, Felix Mendelssohn
Wells Cathedral, Saturday 30 March, 7pm
Tickets: Online at: www.wcos.org.uk
Some available from Wells Cathedral Shop: Monday to Saturday 10.00am - 5.00pm; Sunday 11.00am - 5.00pm: 01749 672773;
