Women's Institute - October Report

Bea Girkin a committee member was in the chair and announced that the coffee morning held last month in the Orpen Memorial Hall raised £142.62p for W I funds.

It was reported that the secretary will be standing down and nominations for the AGM next month would be welcome, it was noted that the position could be shared.

The W I Christmas concert will be held in the Charter Hall this year in December.

Sally Hepher spoke about the Woodland Trust which manages our local Hill House wood as well as Woodland elsewhere around the country. Members were surprised to hear that the UK has the smallest amount of wooded area in Europe, due to our large population.

Contact the secretary to book a place for our birthday lunch at the Institute.
