Area co-ordinator:
Mairi Macleod
Here's what Mairi had to say about the
Staffordshire Group:We are richly blessed in our geographical situation as we are on the
doorstep of some beautiful countryside so try to take as many
opportunities to get out and enjoy it as much as possible. Of course we
also have the benefits of the city, with good theatres and many local
taverns to sample as well. In fact some of us find ourselves out most
Saturdays, in one of our many favourite pubs, enjoying a good chat.
The group is very lively and, as you will see form our choice of events;
we like to be busy and try out different things. Whilst we haven’t grown
hugely in numbers since we started we have got better organized, and have
a very varied list of events scheduled for the rest of this year. We
would love to see new people come along and they are always made to feel
very welcome, as it is a genuinely friendly group. Also if there is
something you would really like to see on our programme then let us know,
we’re always open to new ideas!
As for me, well I’m the
area co-ordinator but the rest of the group take an active involvement in
the organisation of events as well. In my working life I work at the
local University in the postgraduate office as a postgraduate
administrator, which means I’m responsible for the paperwork relating to
research students (cradle to grave as my boss likes to call it although we
don’t like the grave part!). I’m also actively involved in my local
church where I am on the PCC and currently secretary to the PCC. It keeps
me out of mischief!
On behalf of the
whole group we hope to hear from you and that you’ll join us at one of our
forthcoming events.
