PORINGLAND WOMEN'S INSTITUTE
We had an enjoyable evening at our May meeting but with reduced numbers due to various reasons. We discussed differing views on the two Resolutions to be discussed at our National Meeting in June. Our delegate from Newton Flotman was there to hear our discussions and how we wanted her to use our votes. The subjects were Mega farming and the future nationally of Public Libraries (both in the news a lot recently). Some lively discussion took place before voting.
We then enjoyed a lovely buffet and much chatter as well.
Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 13 July at 7.30pm in the Community Centre. Our speaker will be Carolyn Williams who will talk on the origins of Nursery Rhymes - Jack and Jill etc. I must say I have never thought ot their origins when reciting them many years ago to my sons. Should be enlightening!
A date to put in your diaries is our Garden Party on Wednesday 3 August at 2.00pm. This year it will be in the garden of Joan and John Fountain, 55 Howe Lane, Poringland. They have a lovely garden and there will be the usual bring and buy and raffle stalls plus, of course, tea and lovely cakes to enjoy. All members and friends are welcome.
Visitors are always welcome and if there are any queries, please contact Pam Cooper, President on 01508 491674 or Lesley Sanders, Secretary on 01508 492156.
