28th February 2007 AGM & Tea PartyHoly Trinity Social Club |
|
Several members brought along interesting items connected with tea. Alan Hadley owns this very fine tortoiseshell tea caddy, probably of Georgian or early Victorian date. | Another member brought along a Hobson's Antitannic Infuser. It seems that you popped the bowl in the top of the teapot with the tea, poured in the water, let it brew, then took out the infuser and stored it on the saucer. For some reason we suspect that these are rare - and always were! |
Yet another member produced this large sign for Sankey's tea and coffee vending machines. The fact that it is in French reminds us that Bilston companies once had a large international trade. | And lots and lots of members turned up. On the left here is Margaret Lane and on the right is Sandra Davies (aka "Sandra Dee" the well known local entertainer). | ||
Bob Stokes and Doris Stokes settle down for the AGM. | Wynn Woolley with her husband, Eric, a well known local historian and book writer. |
Stalwarts of the club and St. Mary's and the Bilston History Society, Doris Ashfield on the right and Mavis Johnson on the left. | Two very welcome new members, Hazel and Fred Whittaker. |
Two more very welcome members, Joan and Michael Barry. | George and Thelma Davies are regular attenders.. |
Our ex-Mayoress, Lillian Richards, with Mary Langston and her brother-in-law, Ron Langston. |
