Mothers' Union Meeting Report: 8th April
St Matthew's Mothers' Union
Tuesday 8th April 2025
We of course began our meeting with our short service which was taken by Sue and the reading was given by Mavis. Notices were then given by Val.
Tonight our speaker was Mr Alan Greenwood JP (retired), who gave us a very interesting insight into the justice system, how the work of a Justice of the Peace historically came into being, and how important it is today in the justice system.
We discussed with him different aspects of his work and how verdicts were arrived at without a jury.
I think we all gained a better understanding of how this historic, but vital work is now carried out in a different age with different values and different outlooks on the world. It gave us all something to think about!
A vote of thanks to him was given by Margaret and the meeting ended at 9 o’clock after tea and biscuits.
