Chatstops

Chat Stops are our monthly Social Gatherings

CHATSTOPS – All Members and friends are very welcome

Our Chatstops are held on the first Friday of each month, except for January, July, August and September.

Chatstops are free including a free cup of tea and a biscuit.

VENUE: War Memorial Hall, Tudor Road, Broadstone. BH18 8AW

We have a range of PHSG branded clothing that is available to buy.

Paperback books and raffle prizes are always gratefully received.

June’s Chatstop saw the annual PHSG AGM where the committee members were relected for the next year. The Chairman invited anyone to join the committee if they would like to and to act in a general role until such time as they saw a role that they would like to get more involded in…. so come on.. dont be shy !

Keith also present the Chairman’s Cup to Jan Mesher, the PHSG Office Manager, in recognition of her service to PHSG. Jan said that she became involved in the group shortly after her heart attack 21 years ago.

Keith and Janet’s annual quiz was entertaining as usual with two teams in a tiebraker for first place… who knew that the Cerne Abbas Giant is 180 feet tall! Congratulations to Jan’s team for being near enough!

And, thank you to everyone who bought a raffle prize…. it meant that Jan got a hat-trick … the Cup, the Quiz and a bottle of wine !

Thank you also to all the helpers that every month make the tea, wash up and set up the hall and clear up afterwards.
