Members enjoyed a very informative and interesting visit to Wimbledon Windmill in June, where curator, Norman Plastow showed us round the newly restored ground floor section, refurbished with the help of the Heritage Lottery Fund, and the upper floors. See Ray Leyden's article below.
Nicholas Hart and Ray Leyden enjoyed the hospitality of Siobhain McDonagh, MP, at the House of Commons on July 24th, with representatives of other Merton voluntary groups. The strength of these groups in Merton can be demonstrated by the fact that Siobhain had to host two separate evenings to accommodate just two representatives of each group.
