NETWORK 

Wednesday 7th March, is a Special Day for Network when the DISTRICT SPRING MEETING will be held at HADLEY CHURCH from 10.30am to 3.30 pm 

Leader: Mrs Alice Boot from Rugeley 

Theme: “Come and See” - “Go and Tell” 

Coffee will be served on arrival 

Lunch - Bring you own sandwiches - drinks will be provided 

3.30 pm Tea and biscuits before departure 

May I emphasise that this meeting is for ALL ladies of the Church and it would be encouraging if we at Wellington could be well represented. 

It is approximately 5 years since the last District Meeting was held in our Circuit (at Dawley), so this is perhaps all the more reason to give our support. 

If you are unable to attend the all day meeting, why not come to the Morning session (10.30am - to 12.30pm), or the afternoon one (2.00 to 3.30pm) 

If cars are not available, Public transport (Bus No. 55) is quite convenient as the Hadley bus stop is near to the Church.
