There was a floral theme to the July meeting, when Janet Ince, a member of Bewdley Floral Art Club, gave a demonstration of flower arranging.

Four members' arrangements were entered in the competition, which Monica Downes won with her basket of flowers.

Jenny Vanderhook won the Flower of the Month competition, with Winnie Edwards second and June Valencia third.

The group's president, Gill Clarke, thanked everyone who had helped at the ramble on June 25, when members from other Shropshire WIs took part in the four-mile walk in the countryside around Cleobury, led by Mr and Mrs Vanderhook. Following the walk a ploughman's supper had been enjoyed at the parish hall.

There have already been requests to hold a similar event next year. The annual outing will be to Llangollen, on August 13.
