The Danbury Society - 2010
Danbury had a covering of snow starting Tuesday, 5th January 2010. Temperatures plunged to
minus 7 degrees C. The A414 remained open for most of the time due to good gritting by
Essex County Council but most side roads with a slight slope became impassable for many days.
Winter continued well into March.

Photos by David Bolwell
Paula Short entertained a well attended meeting with her holiday experiences in Argentina. We were taken from the
high spots of Buenos Aries to the spectacular Iguazu Falls in the north of the country, concluding with a visit to a ranch
where horses were being broken in .
Paula's convivial dialogue led to an engaging meeting on a rather chilly night.
Report by David Bolwell.
Thank you Paula for interesting presentation on a country so far away.
After a lovely cup of tea/coffee and homemade cakes supplied
by Ivy Hare & Jean Brown, Paula answered questions.
She was thanked by Chairman, Curt and the audience showed their
appreciation with a good clap.
