Dyserth Tuesday Morning Group

Now don't complain

 I can remember way back in the 1960s we suffered a really heavy fall of snow.  I was on night shift and the noise of children snowballing woke me from my bed. What a different May we are enjoying right now.  That's why I say don't complain – I hope you are all thoroughly enjoying these warm days after all those weeks of rain. We expect to see Mediterranean tanned faces around Dyserth in the next few weeks.

Our group meets occasionally throughout the summer as I reported in the last issue but our actual Tuesday morning meetings start again in October.  Do consider joining us. It could be one of the best decisions of your life.

I'm not sure if it will offend any football fans but I must tell you that we are regular patrons of the RSC (Royal Shakespeare Company) in Stratford. We recently made our way down there to see 'Much Ado About Nothing'. We had a fabulous hotel and also enjoyed a marvellous meal in the theatre's 'Rooftop Restaurant'. Our visit was only spoilt for us by the play's production. Neither my wife nor I are 'stick in the muds' but the play had been modernised – presumably to make it attractive to modern audiences. It was based on two major football teams Messina and Madrid playing a cup final. All the noise and bawdiness of modern soccer and even included the nonsense of the WAGS – one of whom was Beatrice. Benedick was portrayed as a Messina football player. It was not for us! We are not football fans but I do think some of Shakespeare should be kept traditional.

Before I close, I have to sadly report the loss of our stalwart member - Mrs Margaret Blott a truly wonderful lady who was a real inspiration to us all, At the grand age of 94, Margaret walked down her road (a steep hill) and never missed a meeting. She was always interested in our wide range of speakers we enjoy. Good night Margaret.

Do get in touch if you would like to join.

We start our 2025/2026 season at the Dyserth Community Hall 7th October with yet another interesting programme of speakers.
