16th June 20138th December 2015

In May our speaker was Stephen Lester, an auctioneer, and 42 members enjoyed his talk on his “Experiences of a Provincial Auctioneer”. Firstly he dispelled a few myths about going to a public auction. Contrary to popular belief, pulling your ear or rubbing your nose will not end up with you having purchased a rare antique! Some bidders do use signs like that, but only when it has been previously arranged with the auctioneer; most people just raise their catalogue to indicate their interest in a particular lot. He has had some spectacular ‘finds’ when going to inspect sale items at a private house. One lady was clearing her house as she was moving to somewhere smaller; after getting an idea of the value of her goods and chattels she mentioned that she had a little bottle that had been in her family for a while. It turned out to be a Fabergé glue pot worth £10,000! At another house he found a very old and tatty writing desk in the attic, which turned out to be one of only 7 items made from an elm tree on the site of the battle of Waterloo; this was worth £36,000 once it had been restored. So the moral is, check before you throw things away!

Our next get together is on 25^th June when Henry Brickwood will talk to us about “Beautiful Gardens to Visit”. Visitors are welcome at a cost of £3.50.

Details of all our meetings and speakers can be found on the diary on the home page of the Winstred 100 website.

PAWS April – Paramedic Muse

bob-harding-jones At last month’s meeting 42 members and 3 visitors came along to hear a talk by Bob Harding-Jones “Can I help you? I’m a Paramedic”. Bob gave us a very amusing talk about his time as a Paramedic with the Hertfordshire Ambulance Service.

He went to Writtle College after leaving school, to train for farm work, which he did until his early 40s. He then retrained, first for the patients transport service, taking people for appointments, and after two years, as a Paramedic. He told lots of anecdotes of his time in the service, like the old couple who had collided on the landing of their house and could not get up; he had to untangle their zimmer frames and check that they were ok, and left them arguing as to who had caused the accident! They are called out many times for ‘emergencies’ that turn out to be a headache or sickness, but a new system has recently been put in place to try to ascertain the exact problem before the ambulance goes out. He has to be good at interpreting euphemisms that people use to explain what is wrong with them, which has caused many a smile. As well as being a Paramedic, he is a poet and has performed at the Edinburgh Festival among other places. He has produced a couple of books of his poetry, which were on sale at the meeting.

Our next meetings are on 28^th May, when our speaker Stephen Lester will tell us about “Experiences of a Provincial Auctioneer” and on the 25th June, when our speaker Henry Brickwood will tell us about “Beautiful Gardens to visit.” Membership is currently full, but visitors are welcome at a cost of £3.50.

PAWS March – AGM and Flappers

Pam Foakes presenting Sheila Gray with her bouquet

As PAWS’ March meeting was also their AGM, they had no speaker on the 26^th. They did however have an excellent turn out with 43 members attending and entering into the spirit of a “Flapper Night” to lighten the business of the evening. Once the formal reports were read by the outgoing President, Sheila Gray, and Treasurer, Jane Anderson, the current committee were re-elected. Pam Foakes was elected as the new President and Jane Banks as her Vice President for the year commencing 1^st April.

Pam presented Sheila with a bouquet on behalf of the members for all her work over the last year. The members then enjoyed a couple of fun quizzes whilst they tucked into Pizza and Bucks Fizz. A very pleasant and sociable AGM.

PAWS’ next meeting is on the 23rd April when speaker Bob Harding-Jones will speak on the subject of “Can I help you? I’m a Paramedic.” Membership is currently full, but visitors are welcome at a cost of £3.50.

Details of all PAWS’ meetings and speakers can be found on the diary on the home page of the Winstred 100 website. If you would like any further information about P.A.W.S. please ring any of the following committee members: Alice Holmes 01206 735510, Jane Banks 01206 735004 or Jane Anderson 01206 735505.

PAWS February – Carnival in Venice

John Wrigley & Sue Copeland — John Wrigley and Sue Copeland

At their February meeting PAWS were entertained by John Wrigley and his slide show of Carnival Time in Venice. John bought along his extensive collection of slides showing the many sites of the city together with various people in costumes and masks. The origins of Carnival go back to 1162 and the word itself means “Farewell, Meat.” As lent (which begins on Ash Wednesday) obliged people to fast, it was an excuse for a party that echoed pagan festivities prior to fasting. After a Republican uprising, a tradition of slaughtering a bull and pigs in the Piazza San Marco, to commemorate the victory, begun around Shrove Tuesday. The celebration gradually grew and the introduction of masks began in 1268.

PAWS’ next get together is on the 26^th March and as it’s their AGM it is a closed meeting. As well as the routine business they will have a “Flapper Theme” and a light supper.
