Near disaster on Thursday when our Speaker cancelled just two hours before the meeting. We were preparing to be a true discussion group when, thankfully, Peter Rowley produced an oven-ready Quiz which gave us the opportunity to exercise our brains alongside having a pleasant evening chatting, drinking and eating our chips and pizza.

Tonight, Thursday, 23rd February, the PADADS meeting is about coal mining. Our speaker, Alan Davies has a lifetime experience of mining and will be telling us about the mines of Wigan - which will no doubt include mines not far from here - mines which the older ones among us will remember well.
Alan is an excellent speaker and he will bring along a good collection of old photographs to add interest to his presentation.
After the talk, we can enjoy chips, pizza and a drink in convivial surroundings.
