Born Free and Virginia McKenna

We welcomed Kathleen Barnett to our meeting on Wednesday who gave a very interesting and illustrated talk on the life and work of Virginia McKenna. As an actress she starred in wildlife films such as "Born Free"" and "An Elephant Called Slowly" which led to her becoming increasingly concerned about the exploitation and treatment of wild animals. She set up the Born Free Foundation with her husband Bill Travers and only retired from the charity as a Trustee in March 2026.
Thank you to Kathleen for raising awareness of the work of the charity. https://www.bornfree.org.uk/

Getting Crafty with Creative Avenue York

Over 2 sessions some of our members enjoyed learning how to create a mosaic with Lisa-Marie who was an excellent tutor. With a great selection of templates and tiles to chose from we produced some very colourful mosaics. It was good fun, quite therapeutic and and everyone enjoyed themselves.
Thank you to Lisa-Marie for a great morning.

Buonissimo! a garden party Italian style.

Our President Christine hosted a garden party in her lovely garden on a sunny afternoon in July. We were treated to a selection of Italian goodies followed by a sumptuous cake (made by Maggie) and scones and finished with an Italian based quiz. So nice to sit and chat and enjoy the company.

On a more serious note we welcomed Mags Godderidge, CEO of "Survive", a charity supporting survivors of sexual violence and abuse.

Mags spoke about the work of "Survive" and the support it gives to survivors. We all felt very moved by her talk and it generated alot of interest and discussion. We all contributed bags of useful items for those rebuilding their lives.
