Fabulous meeting this morning at the Lyndhurst Community Centre, where 10 of us braved the rain at 8.30am for tea/coffee and a pastry and to see the facilities available.
Great to welcome two new people this morning - Jenine Timms (Loke Interior Design) and Hugh Bernard (Haunted New Forest).
Jenine can design beautiful work and home spaces, as well as staging homes to sell and offering pre-sale advice to home sellers.
Hugh runs Haunted New Forest which offers ‘Ghost Walks’ and other events in the Forest. Having followed his Facebook and Instagram pages (haven’t got to his TikTok just yet because I’ll get distracted!) we have now booked onto two ghost walks so far - Lymington and Rufus Stone at Stoney Cross - which we are really looking forward to. Wi******er may well follow!
The Lyndhurst Community Centre surprised everyone this morning - even the locals! None of us realised just how big it is, with 2 large meeting spaces plus one very large hall, in addition to the kitchens, charity shop and books for sale!
We were fortunate to meet in the Chestnut Room this morning, which was added during lockdown. A large, modern room with a huge meeting table and large LED TV Screen with internet access, this is a local space worth knowing about!
Our next meeting is on 3rd July at Furzey Gardens in Minstead at 12 Noon - we look forward to welcoming everyone who can make it.
