CHAIRMAN Jenny Cox welcomed members and visitors to the Christmas party.

It was announced the Christmas dinner will take place at the French House, Upton Snodsbury, on January 11.

Forthcoming activities include a proposed visit to the theatre to see Blythe Spirit, an invitation from Inkberrow WI to an open evening on February 16 on textiles and sewing machines and a visit to Brintons carpet factory in Kidderminster.

Kath Cresswell was presented with a gift for writing the press reports for a number of years - Eveline Jones agreed to take over the job.

Business was shortened to make more time for dancing. John and Cynthia Lee showed some steps in Greek, Russian and other folk dances.

As well as the usual trading stall, run by Jennie Simpson, there was also a stall selling Christmas and birthday cards, made and manned by Gill Blackband and Miriam Tilt.

The raffle was won by Joan Goodall and the competition, a pretty evening bag, by Eveline Jones.
