We celebrated our August meeting in Mary and David Stancer's garden. It was a beautiful afternoon and the garden looked beautiful with shrubs and flowers and the gazebos. We had some visitors from other Institutes as well who thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
With the plates of lovely cakes which kept appearing and cups of tea, it really was an afternoon to remember with friends having a good natter as well!
Our thanks go to Mary and David for all the work they did - I know from personal experience how demanding it is.
Our next meeting is on Wednesday 9 October at 7.30pm in the Community Centre when the Windmill Handbell Ringers will be coming and entertaining us. I'm sure we will have a lovely meeting - maybe they will ask members if they would like a "go"!
As I mentioned last month our Jumble Sale will be on Saturday 12 October at 10.30 am to 12.30 pm in the Community Centre. There will be the usual stalls - come early as the bargains always get snapped up very quickly.
Visitors are always welcome to our meetings and, of course, to the Jumble Sale. If there are any queries, please contact Veronica Brett, President on 01508 493029 or Lesley Sanders, Secretary on 01508 492155.
