Although Meals on Wheels is still available for those satisfying the current criteria, the meals are now delivered directly by the Kendal teams and the Natland team has been stood down.
Margaret Shore, who took over from Whin Inglesfield in organising the Natland round many years ago, hosted a garden party in August to thank the drivers and helpers, old and new, for their valuable service over the years.
Margaret was delighted that twenty-five volunteers, including Whin and some of her original team, were able to attend. It was a happy event, with much reminiscing about the many clients who had received the meals albeit tinged with sadness that the local involvement would no longer exist.
Many thanks to Margaret, too, for 26 years of making sure that the meals were delivered, three days a week, every week. It was a big commitment. Elspeth Jayne.
