AGM and Conference 2017
Hinsley Hall Leeds
1st – 3rd September
Some of us started to arrive for Registration at 2pm and so
were able to relax and chat with a cup of tea
Later, for those more energetic individuals, there was a
Pilates/Gentle Exercise session in the Margaret Clitheroe
Room (No pictures!)
After dinner, the executive committee had a meeting in the
John Wesley room while everybody else had coffee in the
Lounge and attempted the picture quiz.
Those of us who felt more agile tried some circle dancing led
by Irene Casey
The following morning, we all set out for a trip to Pontefract
organised by Lorraine Platt and Margaret Dolan.
Pontefract is a very interesting town but where are the cakes?
No excursion is complete without a visit to a tea shop!
Time to catch the coach back to Hinsley Hall for lunch
This is what is happening after lunch!
The Direct Members had their meeting while everybody else
enjoyed coffee and a chat in the lounge.
