Hello everyone … What a strange month …

Firstly I was not expecting to be writing a newsletter this month but due to the change of meeting dates, I thought you may like to know what is happening!

And secondly, who would have thought we would be in the middle of a heat wave. Mind you it will probably be raining by the time you read this. Still, at the end of this letter I have copied some advice from the people who know about how to cope in heat waves….it may be useful for some of you!
