Christmas Lunch
Members wishing to attend the Christmas lunch at Boxgrove Village Hall, should send a cheque before December 7th, payable to Chichester Literary Society to our secretary Janet at 66 The Green, Rowlands Castle, Hants PO9 6AB. Cost £35 pp. The menu for the lunch has been sent to members. This is always a festive and enjoyable annual occasion for our members.
On November 2nd, following a brief AGM, Nigel gave an interesting presentation on Mary Russell Mitford, (1787-1855) author and dramatist best known for her series of sketches of rural village life published as Our Village during the 1820’s and ’30s. See Journal/Talks page for more on the talk.
1787-1855
Committee News
Robbie Grieve has decided to step down from the committee after many loyal years of service. She edited the now defunct newsletter for several years and has been a dedicated committee member. Simon Brett presented her with a bouquet of flowers at the November meeting in recognition of her long service and wished her well in her new life with family in Norfolk. She hopes to move in the New Year.
We are now, of course, looking for new volunteer committee members from the membership so please think about volunteering your services, especially if you have technology skills! Please talk to a committee member if you can help out.
