MR and Mrs Stanley gave a talk at the March meeting, illustrated with slides, on the work of Severn Area Rescue Association.

SARA uses many craft along the length of the River Severn, from three bases, rescuing those in difficulties in the water.

The nearest boat is based in Arley.

Several members attended a WFWI occasion at the Hundred house, Great Witley, where they were entertained with a musical biography of George Gershwin.

President Carol Hardy showed a copy of the new magazine, which all members will receive eight times a year from 2007.

The next meeting is on April 10, when members will have "fun with clay", helped by John and Annette Christophers.
