PRESIDENT Shirley Miles welcomed everyone, including two new members, to the October Meeting. After the distribution of birthday cards there was a some business. Members are looking forward to several Severn Group events, including Group Meeting, the quiz in November and the Carol Service at Powick in early December. We have our own visit to St Richard’s Hospice in early November. On the morning of November 24 the Art Group will be holding an exhibition and coffee morning in the village hall.

“YOU can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.” This quote from Nobel Prize winner, Dr Linus Pauling was one of the opening remarks of the October speaker, David Barrie. He then went on to explain how many of us do not have an ideal diet. Not only do we eat less fruit and vegetables than we used to, but many of those we do eat are less nutritional than they were. For example, wheat now contains only 9% protein compared to 90% in 1900 and similarly the iron content of spinach has fallen drastically. The situation for today’s children is very worrying: they eat less than half the vegetables of their parents and only a third of their grandparents’ intake.

THE evening started with the speaker instead of the business, as the demonstration needed to start promptly.
