Another successful Members’ Evening was held at The Pub in a Club. Will Dallimore, Pat Morcombe and Brian Smith kick-started the evening by chatting about Badsey in the 1950s covering a wide-ranging number of subjects: shops, pubs, school, sports, people, events.
We didn't appreciate it at the time, but this was to be the last in-person meeting to be held for 18 months due to the global pandemic.
Our first Members’ Night, held at The Pub in a Club, proved to be a popular event, so it has been decided to repeat this in May. The March evening began with a brief talk by Tom Sandham about bell-ringing. Some members had brought along photos and these proved a useful discussion point.
