Watford's Together Timebank saw its fourth Timebank Afternoon Tea on Friday.  We had a lovely time.  19 people came to the Tea this time including 5 guests.  Our visitors from London were John and Christine from Caxton House and St Lukes Timebank.  St Lukes in Islington has 480 members!  They really encouraged us as a Timebank and I think we all felt inspired by their feedback.  They were excited to see such a group of interested people and could foresee our Timebank developing well.

Anojan, Conor and Seb, three boys from a local school, would like to run an Insight IT Computer course for Timebankers and other local residents.  It will cover the basics of computing including sending emails and using Facebook.  Anojan and Conor spoke at the Afternoon Tea to introduce their course, which they have run once before.  They received a warm response. Three Timebankers have already taken part in the previous course and said how helpful it was.  Robert said that now he is no longer afraid of computers!  Please contact Cheryl for more information.
 
Vance read four wonderful poems to the group.  Silence fell as he began and all ears were intently focused on his voice.  Touched with humour and sadness his poems offered a view of different aspects of life including growing older and being in love.  I think we all enjoyed listening.  Thank you Vance.  Vance is interested in discussing poetry further or being part of a Timebank poetry group.  Please let Cheryl know if you are interested in either of these activities.
 
David Stower suggested trips to London as a Timebank group.  He has knowledge of interesting and free places to go in London and so the trip should cost only travel and packed lunch.  There was a good response to David’s proposal and we’re watching this space to see what he can organise for us!  Feel free to send any comments.
 
Finally after enjoying some delicious cakes, including those made by Robert (thanks very much Robert!) Sandra informed us about the Christmas Fair which will take place here at the Holywell Centre on 19th November.  There will be lots of entertainment and a range of good quality craft stalls.  (More details to follow) Thanks to Chris and Shirley who have offered to help set up the event.  If you would like to help too please let Cheryl know.
