The
April meeting started with the President Sue Huggins welcoming members and the
guest speaker Jo Reynolds. Birthday posies were given to Maureen, Lynda
and Barbara. The minutes were read and signed. Reports were given
about the County Annual meeting where the Institute received a certificate for
its centenary and the Upper Waveney Border Exhibition held at Hempnall Village
Hall. Many members took part and many received top marks for their
exhibits and Jenny was congratulated on winning a trophy for her limerick. Jo
Reynolds was then introduced - she gave an interesting talk on becoming
Britains first Fire Woman. She was trained at Wymondham and was stationed
at Thetford - the men accepted her and treated her no differently even inviting
her to stag do’s. She was thanked for an insight into her brief
career as a Fire Woman and then kindly signed her book and gave for the raffle.
Members were asked to be at Broome Village Hall for 12 noon for 12.30 start to
celebrate our Centenary with a lunch.
Our meetings are held on the
2nd Wednesday of every month at Ditchingham Village Hall at 2.30pm.
We are a fun group of ladies, who like a laugh & are very friendly.
Why don't you come & give us a try if you are feeling lonely. Its
better than a tonic!
Our next meeting in the Village Hall is July.
