PORINGLAND WI

Our meeting in September was a social affair with a Beetle Drive. Much laughter and frustration was expressed when the right numbers were not forthcoming. It always amazes me how different the interpretations of the beetles being drawn are!

Our meeting in November is our Annual Meeting and takes place on Wednesday 9 November at 7.30pm in the Community Centre. There is also going to be an exhibition of Arts and Crafts which members have made in the last 3 years. I am constantly surprised how clever some of us are. Why not pay us a visit and you may get an idea for a future hobby for yourself.

Visitors are always welcome to our meetings and if there are any queries, please contact Pam Cooper, President on 01508 491674 or Lesley Sanders, Secretary on 01508 492155.

Group Meeting held at Broome

The Waveney Valley Group meeting held on 29th September at Broome Village Hall.
The talk was about Victorian Country life, mainly about how the women
had to cope when husbands died, were jailed or transported, with
illegitimacy, with the lack of mod cons, lack of money etc.
Despite the credit crunch etc, we were all glad not to have been born
150 years earlier.

The competition was to dress a member in Victorian costume.
The winning entry from Thurlton was dressed in her nightie, and night
cap complete with candle.
.
This is our volunteer Pam in all her finery, She was voted third.
I have not shown the best bit, which was her saucy drawers, provided
by Joan Fountain.
These caused much delight in the hall when displayed by Pam!
