see so many visitors. The speaker for the evening was Sue Riches who delighted
the meeting with an account of her journey to the North Pole without the use of
dogs or motorized support. There was information

please contact Jackie Emeny 01562 770015 Ruth Howell BROCKENCOTE W.I. Unfortunately our meeting on the 20th February at which we welcomed nine visitors from our twinning WI -Stoke Prior, plus one new member, missed the printing deadline. It was announced that our visit to Ryton Organic Gardens on June 18th is booked and members were asked to put their names on the list asap. The proposal to form a theatre group was well received so enquiries will be made to local theatres. Gren Jones then gave a talk on the work done by the Woodland Trust, mainly in managing areas of woodland, planting trees and getting local people involved in their projects. On the 19th March we were pleased to welcome two new
members. More names were added to the Coventry/Ryton visit. A number of members
are hoping to attend the Rose Theatre on the 15th May to see "Ladies
Day". Our speaker, Mary Coleman, then gave us a very interesting and informative talk on the History of Bobbin Lace Making, with a demonstration and display of some of her work. Mary showed us her wonderful collection of old lace and bobbins, also some of her more modern designs using copper wire, all of which were very fragile and intricate. Some of our members even had an attempt at Bobbin Lace on her 'practice pillow'. Following our AGM on 16th April the speaker, will be Catherine Clark on the subject 'MY LIFE AND HATS' - 2.00pm in Chaddesley Village Hall. Visitors and prospective new members will, as always, be very welcome. Chris Jordan
