BLEWBURY W.I. NEWS
Surprise, surprise, you have a new scribe for the WI news and information. Many of you probably know Karen has taken over from Judy White as Secretary, which is a very busy position in the WI, so I have volunteered to keep you up to date with current news and what we are doing during the coming months.
May proved to be a very busy month and included a trip to London Docklands, a walk around the Nettlebed area finishing with lunch at The White Hart, and a croquet evening to give members a taster of how to play the game. Our speaker, Graham Horn, gave a very interesting talk on 100th, 500th and 1000th anniversaries in 2014, giving us details about events and people which really surprised us. A very enjoyable lunch was had at the Red Lion in Blewbury.
