GREENBANK PLAYERS

The Club held its AGM on Monday 26^th April and as always the two most important items on the agenda were feedback on this year's production and the disbursement of funds.

I am very pleased to say that the reports on our Triple Decker trio of one-act plays seem to be very encouraging.  I do think that it is good to have a change of format from time to time and it appears that our faithful audiences agree!!

The ongoing support from our army of fans plus the steady drawing in of new victims works wonders for the bank balance and this year we again have a very healthy sum to give to local charities.

The following 5 good causes will each receive £150:
Crookfur Cottage Homes, Erskine Hospital, Lodging House Mission
RNLI Troon and Ruchill Autism Unit.

Instead of giving our usual donation to the Church directly to the Fabric Fund (£500) this year we will use the money to make much needed improvements to the lighting system.

It is not quite as bad as Little Grimleys yet but getting that way!!!

Stephen is in charge of the project and we are expecting great things!

The new Reading committee meets just after you read this in Good Neighbour and by the time the next issue comes out I hope we will have the 2011 production picked.

Have a good summer.

June, Club President

THANK YOU TO THE DISTRICT VISITORS

The Publicity Committee would like to offer its thanks to the District Visitors who, for a variety of reasons were unable to attend the coffee morning on Saturday 22^nd May.  We therefore reproduce here the words spoken that morning in praise of their commitment and the important role they play in Greenbank:

 “Now I come to you, last but certainly not least, the District Visitors.  You used to be called ‘Lady Visitors’ and as it happens you still are!  No men have volunteered for one of the most important jobs in the church.  You don’t just deliver the magazine – important as that is.  You are the main contact between the members and the church and the elders.  In a conversation with Jeanne recently she reminded me of how important that contact and the magazine is to many of our members who cannot attend church as often as they’d like or even at all.  You are also the face for many who have stopped attending that reminds them that we are there for them.  This year you will have done that on nine occasions, literally in all weathers.  So thank you, Ladies.  This morning is for you in particular, to show you that you are not unsung heroes and to let you know you how much you are appreciated and valued.  Thank you all of you
