WI Notes
On Monday, 16th May the WI had a visit from two ladies who, with volunteers,
run the Parrot Rescue Centre. They gave a detailed account of how the Centre
started and showed slides of the state of the art buildings converted from an
old piggery. Three parrots accompanied the ladies. One was very quiet, another
sat quite peacefully on his perch and the third kept interrupting the talk with
"Hallo".
A bring and buy stall was held to raise money for the centre.
After the business meeting this year's Resolutions were discussed and we were asked to lobby the local council to reduce waste and re-cycle and re-use where possible, and to raise public awareness of the small amount paid to farmers for their milk.
Next month, on 20th June, Richard Howlett will be talking about Jimmy's Light Shelter.
