After a warm welcome by our President Jean Lewis we dealt with the business in hand.
After her financial report our eco-campaigner Kath Pinto urged us to participate in the climate campaign by sending special post cards to parliament and joining the climate march in December. There was also a follow up on honey bee concerns. Kath also had a part in starting up the farmers market in Maidenhead and a tribute appeared in a recent issue of The Advertiser. It was suggested that we should arrange a talk on ovarian cancer as interest had been shown at a previous meeting . Leaflets explaining the symptoms were handed round.
Some forthcoming events in our area were highlighted. Of particular interest is a ' Culture of Japan ' day at the Soltau Centre and an Art lecture at Knowl Hill. There is also a possibility of a visit to the BM in January,
We welcomed Neil Somerville - a writer and journalist as our speaker. His field of expertise is in the mind, body and spirit area and he has made a study of telepathy, premonitions, ESP and creative visualization.
Rather than talk he subjected us to a series of experiments to show his mastery of telepathy and mind reading and with audience participation it made an entertaing morning. He had such unerring success with his telepathy that many of us wondered if some trickery was involved or did he really possess such awesome powers. We will never know ; particularly as he did not invite questions afterwards which he may not have relished from such a sophisticated audience.
The meeting closed after reports from the special interest groups and we were reminded that our next meeting on Nov 4th will feature a talk on
The History and Restoration of Westminster Abbey.
