April - we celebrated our 80th Birthday party one year late. Margaret made a super cake for the occasion.

February meeting is usually a Members Night - that means the members organise it!

We had a demonstration on Button Brooches by Suzanne Plamping then because we had a load of Buttons left from our button craft A5 poster we all made a button brooch each - great night.

In October we held our Quiz night Saturday 27  at the Cator Hall. Good Food Good night!!

In September the ladies of the WI organised a MacMillian Coffee Morning 

At the August meeting it was a Fascinating evening - well a few members made them with feathers and ribbon. They looked very good. The rest watched and had a nice chat.

At the February meeting - Member's Night. We took on the task of being Givil Engineers for the night!

We had to build a tower out of spaghetti, marshmallows and jelly babies for to hold a cup! The next challenge was to build a tower using only sand (very fine sand) and paper towels to hold a cup with water in it! The results showed a great deal of skill and ingenuity. It turned out to be a very competitive fun evening – a glass of wine did help and a wonderful supper.
