May 2023 AGM Day

We were delighted that we were, once again, able to hold our AGM Day at St Thomas’ in-person.

2pm Chapel Service

The Speaker was the Bishop of London, Dame Sarah Mullally.

The Service was recorded and is available on The Nightingale Fellowship website. It was not live streamed this year.

(Please note the collection was for the Chapel at St Thomas’ and only cash or cheques accepted).

3pm Annual General Meeting

The Speaker this year was Sophie Hacker who designed The Calling Window installed at Romsey Abbey.

Sophie had copies of her book illustrating this artwork available to purchase at teatime and was happy to sign these. They cost £10 each. There were also cards of the window available too. These were £2 each and lovely mementoes to keep or send to absent friends.

4pm Tea

Yes – Afternoon Tea was back!

Tea is a benefit for Members of The Nightingale Fellowship and was served in Shepherd Hall, so we could all catch up with each other after such a long time.

Anyone who is not a Member was required to pay £5 each (cash only accepted).
