Sonning Art Group members
appreciated the opportunity to
socialise again after the long
separation caused by Covid
when they met at Sonning Golf
Club for their Christmas lunch.
Special thanks was given to their
chairman, Sue Bell for her work
throughout the pandemic and
supporting other members. Sue (far

flowers from Maggie Hollidge.
Covid did not stop the members
painting as can be seen by the
seascape (above) by Bernadette
Varilone and George Gallocker's
watercolour painted for a
Christmas card (below).

Thank you
for Sonning
Support
volunteers
Trefor Fisher, one of the organisers
of the Sonning Support help service
during the ongoing Covid pandemic,
would like to say a very big thank
you to all the volunteers who have
helped Sonning residents during
this time.
Assistance has been given in many
ways, such as shopping, picking up
prescriptions, dog walking, calling
anxious and vulnerable residents
and so on.
Trefor said: 'We have had many
expressions of gratitude in return from
those that have received help.
'Now that the Covid-19 virus is
becoming much more part of our daily
lives, most residents are back to their
almost normal lives.
'Our dedicated phone line and email
address have been very little used in
recent months and have now been taken
down. That of course is good news but
we would like to stress that Sonning
Support is still very much in operation.'
Should you, your neighbour,
or friend require assistance with
anything, not necessarily Covid
related, call Trefor Fisher on 0778
988 0072 and the Sonning Support
team will do whatever they can to
help.
