WI Notes
In March, the WI held their Annual General Meeting at which Margaret Phillips
was elected President for the coming year. At the following committee meeting,
Margaret Joyce was elected Secretary and Shirley Wilkins continues as
Treasurer.
Have you been to Notcutts (previously Ansels) Garden Centre recently? It has
been completely refurbished and the WI visited it for their meeting on 18th
April. Andrew Haper-Scott gave us a very informative talk on the various
products for weed control in lawns and flower beds, pest control, how to get
rid of ivy, and the best fertilizers to use. We were then able to wander at
leisure round the various shops - food, cards, books, ornaments etc., and to
admire the pets and plants. We made our purchases for which we received a 10%
discount. Andrew then opened the restaurant and made us tea and coffee which
was very welcome.
On May 16th, Maddy Kay will be telling us about Life in a Parrot Rescue Centre. We understand there are several people in the village who are interested in parrots (how's Albert doing? Eds) so this will be a meeting open to everyone. The talk will be the first item on the agenda, so please be there at 7.30pm. The usual business meeting and discussion of this year's Resolutions will follow later.
There will also be a "Bring and Buy" stall to raise money for Parrot Rescue.
