There is to be another one of our popular Lunch and Games in March.

March

Two visitors were welcomed to the meeting – Jane Dixon and Rosemary Steward.

Terry Barrett was our speaker and gave a very interesting talk on the metal detection he does.  There were some very fascinating items which he has found.

Our Lunch and Games is being held on 8th March.

Meetings are being held between us and Northwood Community Partnership and all the other various clubs in Northwood for the forthcoming Queen’s Jubilee Celebrations in June at The Scout Hall, Northwood.

April

We welcomed a visitor to the meeting – Sandra Chaplow.

The Lunch and Games held in March was a great success with our friends from Gurnard Bay WI and Freshwater WI.

Our speaker was Adrian Searle who gave us a brilliant talk on notorious women on the IOW.  He had us in fits of laughter.

We will be going to Thompsons Garden Centre on 17th April for a tour to see how plants, etc., are grown. Some of us will meet for lunch beforehand.

Our 86th Birthday Lunch is being celebrated at The Isle of Wight College on the 25th April.
Birthday cards continue to be given out at our meetings to the ladies whose birthdays fall within that month.

I am sorry this is a very short summary of our meetings. Hopefully I will send them in each month now I realise that no one else has been doing it.
