Community hub people

There are some people who are community hub people. My friends Bill and Maureen Measure are two of these. If I meet someone in the borough and we are trying to work out where we have met before, then I ask them if they know Bill and Maureen. Often the answer is yes, and it is at one of their parties we have met.

I first met Bill and Maureen through the local Green Party, but more often now I meet them at meetings that the local history group that Bill set up has organised.

At Bill's birthday party yesterday, I met Steve and Jean from the local Green Party, Laurie, who I meet at various public meetings, Dee-anna (spelling?) whom I met for the first time at a workshop the day before, Vi whom I've met at local history club events, and several people I met (again) at their Christmas/New Year party. And this was a small party as Bill and Maureen had been away. Normally I meet more people I know at their house.

They are special people.
