It was a sunny evening for our April meeting but before the singing of Jerusalem we heard that two of our members had passed away, Janet Freemantle who had recently been attending all our meetings and Liz Jackson who had been a member several years ago but had stopped coming because of illness. They will be sadly missed.

We had received a letter from the speaker at our March meeting about the RNLI thanking us for our generous donation that came to over £147. Some of the photographs that had been taken at our 100th birthday supper were on display for anyone to order if they wanted copies.

Our speaker for the evening was Rhiannon Parker on Fraud Awareness and Advice. There are hundreds of different types of fraud including the “Hi Mum” text scam as well as courier fraud where someone pretending to be from the police asks you to draw money from your bank account and give it to a courier. Regarding the Internet, she advised us to have a strong email password and use it only for your email. The password should be made up of three random words and when ordering from websites like Amazon it is better to have two factor authentication. She told us that there is plenty more advice on a website called Stop Think Fraud and it is hoped that the advice she gave will help our members avoid being caught by the fraudsters in the future.
