At the time of writing the news is just breaking of the further bail out for Greece from the European Union. The situation in Greece seems somewhat unbelievable, with people unable to withdraw their cash from banks, and banks themselves mostly remaining closed.
THE BIG PAINTING CHALLENGE – THE REAL STORY
I am going to have to start with a little grumble this month, which is litter at the side of the road. It is bad for wildlife and it looks terrible. We are all paying for this mess to be cleared up and there is really no need. Maybe it is because this is a beautiful time of year with all the signs of Spring and Summer but it does seem such a shame that a very few people can’t appreciate how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful part of the country and so respect it. Please take your rubbish home with you. I’m sure most of you already do.
Our speaker for the May meeting was Mr. Edward Buckingham who lives at Saltash, and he is the only Cornishman who has climbed the world’s seven summits. He explained and gave a powerpoint presentation detailing about his adventures.
