Our Co-Foundress, Mrs Mary, Lowe, died in February and Mass will be offered for her on SUNDAY3 SEPTEMBER at St'Mary Moorfields, Eldon Street, EC2 at 10.30 am. Members may have seen a very interesting article about her in Clement Dane's Diary in 23rd March edition of 'The Universe'.  

NEW MEMBERS - we are pleased to welcome the following new members and hope that we may have the pleasure of their company on many of our activities:-


Theresa O'Connell, Ann Walsh, Frank Hodgkinson and James Corridan

A number of members have mentioned that the Angeliu's is no longer being said on rambles ,for vartous.reaons. your Committee thought the answer might be to try saying the prayer of St Francis, which  most of us know, at the start of the actual rarnble instead and hope this meets·with members' approval.
