Moira Audsley welcomed 21 ladies to the monthly meeting at the community centre, and spoke about forthcoming events.

Moira introduced Tom Fox, he gave a wonderful account of how he became to be in the police force, starting at Darlington, Kirkbymoorside, Harrogate and finally Scarborough.

He told us about his first arrest and of how he helped out in many more ways in his line of duty. He stressed how important it is to talk about wills and donor cards to family and friends.
