WI Notes
The speaker at our January meeting was Jane Hipkin who gave us a very
interesting account of her experiences while completing an apprenticeship at
the Royal School of Needlework. Jane brought along a display of the work she
had completed and illustrated her talk with slides. We learnt about the history
of the School, which has a very prestigious home at Hampton Court, and heard
about some very exciting commissions that were undertaken during Jane's
time there - including refurbishment of the curtains at the Royal Opera House
and royal banners for the Queen. The detail of her work was amazing and her
enthusiasm for her subject was inspiring to us all.
On Friday 21st January a number of members and guests are going to the Pantomime at Bottisham Village College and our next monthly meeting will be on Monday February 22nd when we will hear about the life of a Paramedic from Bob Jones.
New members are always welcome. Come along to a meeting and see if you would like to join our friendly group.
