Before the talk, the treasurer, Jane Evans, reported that the Village Quiz evening had been both a financial success and very enjoyable, and Sue thanked everyone who had participated and helped behind the scenes to make it so. The St John's Ambulance Essential First Aid course had also been well attended and very instructive. Members had been circulating further information on how the symptoms of heart attacks in women can be easily overlooked because, unlike men, they often do not have chest pains amongst their symptoms.

Members are signing up to help with providing the teas during the village Jubilee celebrations on June 2nd. The next meeting will be held in Acton Bridge Parish Rooms at 7.30pm on Tuesday May 8th, when the proposed resolution for the national AGM, calling for the government to increase the numbers of midwives in the face of the current chronic shortages, will be debated. Everyone is asked to bring some food to share for supper together afterwards. The programme for the year and further details of the month's activities can be found at www.ActonBridge.org.
