ON September 15 it was 90 years since the founding of the first Women's Institute in England and Wales.
To celebrate this anniversary, the Weatheroak Group of Women's Institutes, which includes Alvechurch, Beoley, Drakes Cross, Hillside, Hollywood, Hopwood and Wythall WIs, held a "Stepping Out" group walk at Arrow Valley Country Park.
More than 30 members walked about 50 miles, each doing at least one one-mile circuit of the lake, and some did more.
We had warm sunny weather, though it rained hard after we had finished and enjoyed our cream teas at the Countryside Centre cafe.
