We are to make lanterns to celebrate Chinese New Year with David Yipp and create and dress, with favourite waterway scenes, our green heart display board for the Show the Love event at our 1 February Members' Meeting.  We are to meet at Janet's house.

Our first meeting of 2024 will be hosted by Tricia. We will be talking about The Professor by Charlotte Bronte, written before Jane Eyre but only published the year after Charlotte had died. We will also decide on the programme for 2024, including the titles we plan to read and the venues for each meeting.

Our speaker this evening will be Dr Lyndsey Appleyard, Assistant Professor at Coventry University, who will explain the concept of financial wellbeing and the importance of conversations about money.
