Hello everyone and a warm welcome to our new members. As most of you may know John Bradley is retiring in May.

John has always fulfilled his job without question and devotion-we are now hoping that people will come forward to help fulfil his role so that the Heart Group can continue our good work. We are also happy to have ideas or suggestions to help take the group forward. We are hoping the new members will come along to see the good work that John and the rest of the group do and hopefully want to get involve

WELFARE OFFICER/FLOWER GIRL
We are looking for a member to take on this role it means keeping people informed of WHSG so anyone being admitted to hospital or is ill at home it enables the group to send a card or small gift and make a visit or 'phone them, whichever is appropriate. Can anyone help?

TREASURER'S REPORT
I have informed the group that we are in credit with our Lloyds current account. A donation of £250 has been received from the Oddfellows Society, and I have sent an acknowledgement for this.

SUNDAY WALKS
Since the last newsletter we have had two walks but with no organised meals for walkers and fellow heart support members to enjoy. With this in mind I have decided not to organise any more Sunday walks because it's not the same without a meal and a get together afterwards. Picture shows walkers ready for a walk around Ombersley lanes on Ombersley golf club car park. This was always Irene Hayes usual walk in January. Graham Williams also did walks in days gone by around Ombersley village and taking in Lord Sandys estate Trevor Cooper did varied walks the one I liked was around Warndon Villages. Mike and Rose Fletcher took walks around Bewdley and many walks in Wyre Forest many of their walks started with cups of coffee and Christmas walk with mince pies. Droitwich walks were led by Brian Shore, Chris Padden and Ken and Margaret Joyce. Peter Day gave us walks around Eckington and other walks in Pershore and Wick. Pat Cookes taken us on many varied walks including St Peters, Top Barn and Stoulton Woods. Geoff and Cathy Styles led many a walk around Broadheath, My apologies if I've missed any walk leaders out there may be some before I joined the group.
WALKERS AT OMBERSLEY
Roger Banks
Roger has also been a valid member of the group putting walks on his self so I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his commitment and dedication too.

I WISH TO END THIS SPRING NEWS LETTER BY REMINDING  YOU WE ALL NEED EACH OTHER SO IF YOU HAVE SPARE TIME TO HELP A  FANTASTIC CAUSE PLEASE CONTACT US.
Increase in membership fees
We have not increased our membership fees for twenty years but unfortunately, we have come to the point where we have to raise the membership contribution because of increased costs in printing and postage. Therefore, from 1st April the membership fee will be £10 per person per year.
