Bude U3A held their monthly meeting on Thursday 18th August 2011.

Hilary Workman dealt with the business of the day and respects were paid to founder member Iwan Davies, who died after a long illness. Iwan served on the committee and lead the Enjoying Music group for many years and will be greatly missed.

Our speakers for the day were Penny and Bruce Matheson, who have practiced acupuncture since 1979. The therapy is thought to have started in China 3-5000 years ago and was used in association with herbal remedies, diet and massage. They explained pressure points, how 300 points are classically used and gave us a fascinating insight into the skills and study required of a practitioner.

They were thanked by Sue Neil.
