A Happy New Year was wished by Jenny Marsh to a full hall of members. Interesting plans for 2006 included the annual lunch, the group meeting at Crowle, ideas and entries were welcomed for the spring rally, a theatre visit to Cheltenham and news of a magazine entitled WI Life, which is to be posted to every member beginning in 2007. Our speaker, Catherine Clark, brightened up a January afternoon with a most entertaining talk and presentation of the wonderful display of hats she has for hire. A most enjoyable meeting.
