THE meeting was opened by president Olivia Lane.

The members sang Jerusalem and all other business was completed.

The speaker was Dot Cook, a midwife who gave a run-down of all her experiences. We were in stitches of laughter at times and very moved at others.

There was a surprise visit from three midwives who came to listen to the talk and a guest hoping to join the WI.

The meeting closed after tea and a raffle at 4.15pm Meetings take place once a month on the first Thursday afternoon at 2.30pm. New members are welcome. For further information call 01980 632899.
