Hello All,
How are you
all in doing in these crazy times? Have any of you had a vaccination yet?
We, the
committee, managed to set up our first virtual meeting in the afternoon of what
would have been our January 2021 meeting. It was lovely to see and chat to the
members who managed to login and join us.
Encouraged
by this and the fact that this lockdown looks like it is going to be for
several more weeks have we decided to have a virtual speaker in March and
another is planned in May via Zoom. We are going to have practice run
in February…
So you are
all invited to an extra Martlets meeting
on Saturday 13 February 2021 at 2.00 pm via Zoom.
Please check

13th March 2021
I am pleased to announce that our first virtual speaker will be
Anthony Poulton-Smith

how articles of clothing acquired their names. Trousers dress, shirt or blouse,
etc.
The meeting
to start at 1.45 to give everyone
time to login and settle before the speaker starts. Once again details and
links to follow in emails after our February meeting, so if you hear nothing
