Old Buckenham Social Circle

Filling the Memorial Room

It was great to see so many people at Thursday night's meeting of the Old Buckenham Social Circle. It was the most visitors we've ever had!  The speakers were from the American Memorial Library that exists at the back of the ground floor of the main Library at the Forum in Norwich. They were speaking about how the Library came to be formed as a memorial to all the thousands of young Americans that died while serving in the American Airforce during World War II. The Social Circle was able to give a donation of £30 from group funds (which were boosted by the charge made to visitors) to the speakers so maybe they'll be able to buy another book or two for their wonderful collection of American books.

A reminder to all members that the  July meeting will be at the home of Barbara and John Frost in Mill Road. We will be having 'bring and share' refreshments so please bring along a plate (or something) of goodies to make a feast for all.  Drinks, glasses and plates will be provided, and cutlery will be available if needed. Please bring a chair if you can and parking will be available across the road in the Moorhouse's garden 

A warm welcome to Ian who has joined us as a member. If you know of any visitors who came along to Thursday's or to previous meetings and have expressed a wish to become regular members, please let Alison Hannah know so that she can extend the invitation to the garden party to them too. The fees for the second half of 2025 will be decided at the August meeting and looking forward to seeing you on Thursday 10 July.
