This was the last meeting of the year before the Summer Break.

MU Meeting April 2023
This month’s meeting on 19th April was attended by 25 members but we were first saddened to hear the news that our dear, long-standing member, Ann Stafford, had passed away that morning.
We went on to welcome our vicar, Canon Rob McLaren, who had been invited as our guest speaker, to learn how his being a choirboy had influenced his life.
MU AGM March 2023
We were pleasantly surprised by the increased number of members who attended the branch AGM.

MU Meeting 19 Feb 23
At this month’s meeting we invited Daryl Hales and his wife, Sue, to come and speak about their individual experiences in their recovery from alcoholism.
This was a really interesting and informative talk and Daryl and Sue hoped it had given us an insight into the issues of alcohol and alcoholism.
MU Epiphany service 2023
It was lovely to see about 28 members, including several from Sandbach Heath and Brereton, turn up on a very cold, snowy day for our Epiphany service and party on Wed 18th Jan.
Canon Rob conducted a Communion Service for us, and reminded us of the importance of Epiphany. After the service he enrolled his mother, Margaret McLaren, as a member of
the Mothers’ Union.

We had a lovely meeting this month – John Murfin gave us an interesting talk about bell-ringing and handbells and we finished by singing carols.
MU Meeting 16 Nov 22
The recent considerable rise in MU fees prompted quite a discussion. Ann Peach, from Brereton and a Trustee of MU, was able to explain where all the fees went to and how MU is in deficit by a considerable amount.
The main theme for the meeting was ‘Who has inspired you?’ and three of our members shared their personal accounts.
MU Meeting 19 Oct 22
The meeting included a very interesting talk by John Clowes, entitled: “Twenty years of garden design and how it happened”.
John began by telling us about his father’s interest in his childhood garden in Timperley but that his own interest and passion only began when he married and had his own home to garden.
