W.I.

The W.I. Resolution to Stop the Decline of and to Revitalise High Streets was discussed and agreed upon at the May meeting. The AGM followed, during which Mary Mould, Retiring President, was thanked for her three and a half years in office, and Jos Carter, as she retires, was thanked for her four and a half years as Treasurer. A new Committee was formed with welcome extended to three new members. Sue Carbutt was elected as President for the coming year. Refreshments and chat completed the evening.  The flower of the month competition was won jointly by Margaret Chapman's Camellia and Shirley Field's Clematis. Instead of the usual type of meeting in June members will visit Arger Fen, followed by an optional meal or drinks at a local hostelry.
