After what seemed like a long summer break (if you can call it a summer) 34 members and 4 visitors attended our September meeting when Dr. Maureen Scollen came along, wearing a copy of an early women’s police uniform, to tell us all about “Paragon or Prude”. With such an intriguing title it certainly lived up to expectations, as Maureen kept us very entertained with a mixture of stories of her life as a serving police officer and also the history of women police officers. It really was an excellent evening. We are hoping now to organise a trip to the Police Museum at Springfield of which Maureen is a trustee.
Our next get together is on October 23rd when Oggie Weldon is our speaker, her subject being “Hats For All Occasions”. Membership is currently full but visitors are welcome at a cost of £3.50.
