Kay Jefford - Womens rights during the 20th century.

The July meeting began with the singing of Jerusalem. Apologies were received from Janet, Pam and  Helen.   Birthday posies was handed to Jean, Margaret and Jenny.  Margaret and Jenny also received cards for their special birthdays.  The President thanked all members who had decorated hats for the Royal Norfolk Show stand.  Seven were made by Ditchingham and the total for the county was 20 - so we can hold our heads up high!!  Invites were read out from Thurlton, Rockland, Mettingham, Poringland and Broome.  Preparations were finalized for the August Birthday meeting where several replies had already been received - so looks like being a fun afternoon!!!!  The Treasurer announced we had another win on the 500 club and members signed up for next year.   The speaker Kay Jefford was introduced - this proved to be a very interesting talk on Womens rights during the 20th century.  There was lots of feedback during the talk with members trying to guess dates when various things happened.  Life for women during the last 100 years has changed greatly in some countries but in other countries women were still used and abused.  The result of the competition - an animal photo was 1st - Maureen, 2nd Sue and 3rd   Jean. The August meeting is our open 95th Birthday meeting at the Village Hall on 14th August at 2.30.  Friends and new members always welcome.
