Our President Sue Rodford
pointed out several articles of interest in the County News March edition.
These included a picture of our visit to Shepton Prison, some craft events
coming up in Burrrowbridge and at the Bath and West showground and for the
latter venue a reminder of volunteers needed for the WI tea tent at the annual
show.
We were also reminded to
start thinking about contributions for our adult tombola stall at the fete in
June as we will need a lot of prizes. The recent snow had meant the village clean-up
had been postponed and would now take place on Sat 17th March, all
arrangements as before.
Looking ahead into April the
monthly coffee morning will resume on Friday 2nd, another event
which was affected by last month’s snow. We have one team of 4 entered for the
Hall quiz on Saturday 7th but often manage to enter two so if you
are interested ring Sue Vaughan on 813115, we can put together a team of 4 from
individuals if needed. Lastly there are still no volunteers to carry the banner
at the Wells event on the 28th but if you do think you may be able
to help with this contact Sue Rodford as soon as possible as the cloth needs
supports made to enable it to be carried.
We then had an interesting
and informative talk about composting from Steve Mynard who spreads the word
about the importance of this on behalf of Somerset County Council. He gave us
plenty of tips on what to do and gave us some very useful handouts to take
away, so no excuses not to get on and start composting if you don’t already.
At the next meeting on
Monday April 9th there will be a talk on the Mendip Hills so very
relevant to us all.
