During our Zoom Gathering for the AGM on Saturday, July 29th we started the day with some creative storytelling from participants. It is interesting what can be revealed about people when we shared 'Two truths and a lie' and creative explanations of various object gifts. Good fun and networking was further developed when everyone shared a storytelling tip that has improved their skills as oral storytelling performers. There were some little gems of wisdom.
Zanette Burr one of our newly accredited members told the story of 'Stone Soup' which is traditionally told at this time of year for our July gathering.
The AGM followed with an account of our finances from Treasurer Michael Patterson and a comprehensive President’s Report from Christine Carlton.
Liz Locksley, the Public Officer then took over and conducted the elections for the new committee.
