                              inspiring and thought provoking speech on the theme.

The Meeting of 2nd October, 2017 of Pollokshields Club was opened by  President Roz.
The Theme of the evening was Autumn Leaves…

The Chairman for the evening was Iris who gave us a most interesting explanation of the seasons.
She then conducted the Topics session and topics were given by Carol, Liz, Scilla and Grace.
The education session was led by Carole who made this in the form of a Game - Room 101 where groups of members had to persuade her what to assign to Room 101.    The Winners were, Brendan, Louise and Grace.    So Christmas Crackers have now been assigned to Room 101.  This was an interesting, fun and very worthwhile session.
