DON'T forget: Melrose Hall AGM is on Monday, at 7.30pm, and everyone is welcome to come along and meet the new committee.

BROWNIES: I am making another plea on behalf of the Brownies.

They need help! The 25th Basingstoke Brownies are very nice and welcoming to newcomers. The trouble is that they need a new Brown Owl and Tawny Owl, as their recent ones have been working for the Guide Association for a long time. They go on pack holidays and have lots of fun together.

If you think you would like to become a leader at their pack, call Sue Saunders on 07778 301948 or 01483 476728.

They meet at St Gabriel's Church Hall, every Wednesday. The fun starts at 6pm and ends at 7.30pm. You might need to stay a bit longer to help pack up. They hope someone will come forward soon.

COFFEE mornings: These are held at Melrose Hall every Monday and Thursday. New members would be most welcome from 9.30am.

HEALTH walks: The walks are going from strength to strength. However, there is always room for more, so come along to Popley Fields car park on Fridays, at 10.45am, and walk your way to health.

NEWS: As always, the number above is available if you wish to include your news in this column.
