LONGRIDGE SUSPEND MEETINGS

On Thursday 12th March 65 had booked to attend the meal at the New Drop but unfortunately due to the escalating situation with the Covoid 19 virus only 43 sat down for the usual wonderful meal.

With eight visitors from across Province President Richard presided over his final meeting (or did he?). Longridge has a leader not afraid to make difficult decisions and, not waiting for guidance from afar, he informed Circle that April and future meetings were cancelled to protect the safety of Circle members as a priority, reliant on the fluid situation. 

Provincial Councillor Ted poking fun at Province suggested it had not had a good year with the demise of two Circles Blackburn and Furness. He presented his report in the form of a ditty which for amusement I reproduce:

The Province has had a bad year

Not much fun and nothing to cheer,

Two Circles have died.

And no ones surprised,

Who will be next is the fear.

Members are needed the VP said

And Mark the Director nodded his head.

I have a good plan said the bald young man,

Let’s all go to Longridge instead.

So tonight at the New Drop they’re here

The VP and his President dear.

They’ve made a decision without any division,

To apply to join Longridge next year.

Although formal gatherings are suspended, both the Cycle Group and Walking Group will offer events for those who wish to take part.

Watch this space for blogs of happenings in Longridge and hopefully the resumption of normal proceedings.

In the meantime let's hope and pray we all see this scourge through and KEEP HEALTHY!
