Lickey WI met at the parish hall for a social evening.

Outings for the year were announced and deposits taken for the first of these to Bristol in April. The skittles team had played its second match of the county tournament against a victorious team from Hopwood WI. Letters of thanks had been received for the Christmas gifts which had been sent to the women's refuge.

The social activity took the form of a light-hearted but hotly-contested quiz. Four rounds of questions were posed by different quizmasters and a small prize awarded to the winning team of each round. There were four lucky raffle winners. The competition for 'A perfume bottle' was won by Sue Shaw. On Tuesday, March 7, speaker Judy Berrow's subject will be 'Starting from scratch - the story of a garden.'

The competition will be for a spring flower.
