Here’s an update from Malcolm Rochefort, Chair of Ludlow and Marches Humanists, about the group’s social plans for the year ahead.
Dear Friends,
As you probably know, we have stopped arranging formal talks this year, but we do intend to continue with informal meetings, allowing everyone to chat and keep in touch. Also, Neil has kindly agreed to continue maintaining the web site, so check that out.
I think all of you who came to the January lunch at the Charlton Arms enjoyed the chat, food and great views of the Teme in (almost) full flood (see attached). Luckily the rain had eased off temporarily, so the river was still dramatic, but not at immediate risk to those living nearby. And the Charlton does enable very good views along with good food and ambience.
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 17th February, at 7:30 pm at the Grade II listed pub, The Unicorn, 66, Lower Corve Street, Ludlow SY8 1DU. We’ve reserved the snug area at the back of the pub, which should be quieter, though without the impressive log fire in the front. We have no fixed agenda, but I’ll bring along some topics that we might want to discuss, and please feel free to bring along your own. We can stay as long as we like (the pub closes at 11 pm!), it’s up to you. We’ll probably leave by about 9:30 as we’ve the unenviable drive back over the hill through Mortimer Forest to get home, dodging the deer.
We’re planning to continue these meetings monthly on the third Tuesday of the month, so after the February meeting, the next one will be on Tuesday, March 17th, also at the Unicorn, which has been pre-booked.
All ideas for future meetings/events/activities welcomed.
Have a great year.
Malcolm
