BASINGSTOKE CIVIL SERVICE RETIREMENT FELLOWSHIP The Chairman, David Cowling, welcomed 40 members and 3 visitors to the meeting on Wednesday 7 August and gave apologies for those unable to attend. The Secretary, Tony Brazier gave details of the forthcoming trips and asked that those going on the River Trip and Mystery Trip complete and return their lunch choices. He also gave out a list of possible trips for next year and asked that people indicated which ones they would be interested in going on. From this the committee would prepare the 2020 programme. The speaker this month was Paul Whittle who gave a talk about the life and times of “The Lady with the Lamp”. This was of course Florence Nightingale who was born on 12 May 1820 into a wealthy and well- connected British family at the Villa Colombaia, in Florence, Italy, and was named after the city of her birth. Florence’s older sister Parthenope had similarly been named. The family moved back to England in 1821, to the family’s homes at Embley, Hampshire and Lea Hurst, Derbyshire. She underwent the first of several experiences that she believed were calls from God in February 1837 which prompted a strong desire to devote her life to the service of others. She worked hard to educate herself in the art and science of nursing, despite LIVING WITH A LUNG DISEASE opposition from her family and the restrictive social code for Did you know that one in five people in the UK has a diagnosed affluent young English women.
