Win for President

Mrs E North, presided at Curdworth Women’s Institute’s September meeting.

The over 60s party fund was discussed taking into account the rising cost and the number of senior parishioners. It was decided that the fund would be called the Over 65s party fund, in which people of 65, widows of 60 years and the infirm would be eligible.

This year, Christmas gifts would be distributed instead of holding a party. It was hoped the new village hall would be ready in time for next year’s party. Christmas gift application forms will be available in local shops and will be advertised in the press.

Mrs G Drando, produce secretary, invited Mrs Siers and Mrs Thirlby to adjudicate at the show which was won by the president with 45 points. Second place was a tie between Mrs M Tranter and Mrs A Widgley, both with 21 points. Mrs P Roberts was third with 19 points.

The show attracted an increased number of entries. Mr Ray Walters was the pianist.

Flower Arranging at Canwell WI

A delightfully warm June evening was the perfect setting for the flower-arranging demonstrations given to the Canwell Women’s Institute by Mrs B Siers.

Mrs B Siers expertly demonstrated her skill and artistry in the beautiful and varied arrangements that she created; surely an inspiration to members to try their hand. Mrs B Hodder thanked Mrs Siers.

The Canwell delegate to the AGM at the Albert Hall, Mrs G Harris, has been enthralled by the events and gave an interesting account of the proceedings.

The competition for flower arrangement in an egg cup, kindly judged by Mrs Siers, was won by Mrs M Myatt, with Mrs M Robinson and Mrs G Summers taking second and third places.
