We began the meeting with a moment’s silence for one of our members, Gina Hunt, who recently passed away. She will be missed.

There was a lot to discuss in the first part of the meeting including arrangements for a trip to the BBC and plans for providing teas for a visiting WI.

It was also agreed to have another Fashion Show at Wilton later in the year.

After a break for refreshments and chat it was time for this month’s speaker.

Penny Ockenhead gave us a presentation with slides entitled Amazing Antarctica.

This was a delightful talk mostly about the wonderful wildlife she had encountered on a trip to the Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica.

She showed us lovely photographs of penguins, seals and other wildlife and had lots of anecdotes about her trip.

Our next meeting, the AGM, will be on March 12 at 7.30 at Antrobus House as usual. You are most welcome to join us.
