Web master report 2025

 We are still doing the Zoom meeting for the September meeting, but happily, we are now able to meet in person once more. It has been great meeting up with all the members and the rest of the committee in recent months and long may that continue.

As promised I have set up a review page on the website and placed on it the few reviews by our members, or friends of members I have received.

Our website has now been in operation for eleven years and has hopefully improved in that time. I  regret that due to some technical problems and personal difficulties it has been hard for me to update the website as quickly as I should like, but I am hoping to be able to remedy this shortly.

 In the meantime we still have a members’ page and also a children’s page and I am always welcoming of new contributions. Any submissions will be published subject to approval.

It can be a poem you want to share with us, an article or short story. Just send them to me at peterjones040@gmail.com and I’ll do the rest. Please bear with me if it takes a little longer than normal.

I cannot stress enough that it is our members who will help the LAA move forward, and you can do this by actively engaging and becoming a part of our endeavours, even if merely by suggestions and constructive comments.

Our association has been in existence since 1909 and we should take great pride in that. We are merely the custodians in this period of time so let’s make sure we are not the last by continuing our support.

Publicity Officer Report 2025

  The past year our meetings continued as pre-pandemic with one exception; now we have a regular Zoom Meeting in September and three face to face meetings. We retained the September Zoom Meeting because it enables us to book speakers from farther afield and gives an opportunity for members to join in when unable to attend in person.   Sadly the meeting held in September 2024 was poorly attended, disappointing for both committee and guest speaker. As Publicity Officer, I am always on the lookout for someone special and perhaps a little famous if possible for this meeting. Suggestions from members are always welcome. We are hoping to become more inclusive as an association and have made contact with various other groups who are a part of Lancashire’s varied History. Our committee meetings are also conducted on Zoom or sometimes Messenger; the reason for this being, that our committee are based all over Lancashire, so it’s a much better way of ensuring a quorum, whatever the ...

  In One Piece!       By Susan Osborne   (This poem is a conversation between a Baker’s lass and Farmer’s lad, who met at the Village fete)     I baked a cake fer t’ village fete An placed it on a stand I allus use t’ very best An I mun say, it looks reet grand.   ‘Arta gunna slice it then?’ I just thowt I’d ask, ‘After t’ judgin tha can ave a piece But only if tha’s geet some brass.’   Best butter, soft brown sugar, Rich spices n fruit that’s moist.
