NATIONAL Women's Register: There was a full house at Anne's in Longbridge Road on August 19.

All members had done some research into British women achievers with very interesting opinions.

Boadicea, Elizabeth Fry, Marie Stopes, Amy Johnson and some very up-to-date achievers such as Delia Smith, Dame Judi Dench and Ellen MacArthur were just a few discussed.

Refreshments were served and Anne was thanked for her hospitality.

STAMPS: Thank you to everyone who has saved used stamps, which I have previously taken to Helen House.

Recently I have been unable to go to Oxford with these but find that St Michael's Hospice in Basingstoke now has the help of the Stamp and Collectibles Broker and is pleased to take our used stamps.

I have taken a lot there this week so please continue to collect.

BRAMLEY Show: I will be able to report the results and award winners next week so watch this space.
