PRESIDENT Val Wheeler welcomed members to our the August meeting and reported that the coach for the trip with Brian Draper to the Middle Severn was almost full.

She gave details of the coffee morning at Roma’s house on August 18, and also details of the WI Baton handover ceremony at Avoncroft on September 15.

She introduced speaker Ray Sturdy who had brought his “See and Hear Quiz”. The total points possible was 46.

Jane and Jessica tied on 37 points with Jessica winning the tie breaker leaving Jane second and Joan and Mary third with 35 points.

Many of the questions took members down memory lane – such as the signature tune to “Dick Barton Special Agent”, Wilfred Pickles “Have a Go”

and “The Billy Cotton Band Show”.

The competition was won by Roma with Jessica second and Jill third. Maureen won the raffle.

Finstall and Cofton Hackett WI meet on the first Monday in the month at 2pm in Finstall Village Hall and new members will be warmly welcomed.
