At this time of year I spend a good deal of time writing letters asking people to cut back any overhanging foliage protruding from their properties. May I make a plea on behalf of all pedestrians, especially those with pushchairs or wheel chairs, that any foliage, especially conifers, that overhang the pavement are cut back so that during the rainy days of summer passers-by can walk along without getting wet from the foliage. ,Invasive Plants.

The April meeting started first with the speaker, Mr. Bob Porton who kept his audienc enthralled and happy throughout his talk - and who can wonder at it all. His subject was Radio Comedy and it was just that. He played ellcerpts from all the old shows, when comedy really was comedy and many members were laughing out loud, and it was surprising how much we had remembered of rcally _good shows. If only other things were so easy

to remember now! After coffee and a chat came the business section ably conducted by the Chairman and the new Secretary Mrs. Doreen Page.

For the April demo 'Out & About,' we were taken on an imaginary walk into the country hy Pam Bluer which she depicted in her floral arrangements by using foliage, wood and spring flowers etc.; things that you would find on such a walk . It was an entertaining afternoon and had us looking fo rward to warm spring days. Another practice class in May, 'Candlelit Shore' will give everyone an opportunity to try their hands at something a lillie different. At the previous monthly meeting, those who wish to 'have a go' are givch a list of the materials needeJ tor the class and a photograph of the design.

On the afternoon we are shown by the demonstrator how the design is put together. Help is always available if needed, and at the ~nd of the afternoon we all take home something of which we can be proud, even though it might not be exactly to the design but that is all pail of the fun.
