Goostrey WI by Sheila Tomlinson

Member Carole Oakley was president for the evening at the recent meeting of Goostrey WI so that the regular committee could have a break.

Carole welcomed members to the meeting and thanked the committee for all their hard work during the year. Kath Barratt, secretary, reminded them of the last members night meeting.

the flowers given by Joan Isaacs were sent to Margaret Kettle. The room looked very springlike as the theme for the bring and buy stall and flowers on the tables was 'yellow'.

Guest speaker for the evening was Les Pickford, a cartoonist, who amazed members with the figures he produced from just a few lines,. At the end of the evening, members produced their own cartoons with varying results. Les's demonstration was accompanied by amusing anecdotes and jokes. He was thanked by June Sulej for his enjoyable talk.

Joan Harris compiled a set anagrams of herbs to test and entertain members during the evening and they finished with a quiz asking members to recognise celebrities from muddled pictures. The competition ‘a decorated egg in an egg cup’ was won by Carole Neal.

Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of the month in Goostrey Village Hall at 7.30pm, visitors and new members welcome.
