meeting presented by a guitarist/singer/
composer and bird song recordist.
June will be our birthday meeting and we are
very much hoping we will be able to gather in
person somehow. We are very fortunate that we
have the technology to hold meetings via the
internet but this is not open to all members as a
a number are not able or uncomfortable using
this means. Also very much not the same as
active to face gathering. Everyone is very much
looking forward to the relaxing of the current
rules and life getting better.
We usually meet on the second Thursday of
the month and if you think you may be
interested in joining our So you are welcome to
visit us and join us in one of our zoom meetings.

Morning WI
So once again we have hope on the horizon,
which for most of us, cannot come too soon!
The morning WI we have been doing our best
to keep the members interested and to that end
our speaker in February was Misha Khan who
in 2018 joined a euro/Arabian expedition to the
North Pole. This was an all women team and it
was hoped that a greater understanding between
women of different cultures, background and
ethnicity would be achieved.
In March we had Simon Gregor speaking
about the life of one family in Prague
throughout the 20th century.
As soon as the 'rule of 6' returns and the
weather is warmer we shall resume our coffee
and tea get togethers, and we hope that by then
the second wave of jabs will have started.
We are trying to plan a bit for the future but as
we all know this is not easy at the moment, but
it is amazing a year of restricted living has
passed and as a community we have done very
well adapting to the circumstances.
With best wishes to all readers, Sheila Sparrow

Hazlemere Gardening Association
Although garden centres remain open the
committee have decided that we are not yet
confident enough to risk opening in the
customary manner until later in the year.
I am, however, pleased to say we have started
renewing memberships and operating our
‘Order and Collection Service” This worked
very well last year and with our new website
now fully operational, has enabled members to
purchase the full range of our stock under this
system. Please see our website for details of
membership, how to place an order and the full
range of products in our Barn store.
