Woodlands WI members receive new competition booklets

MAUREEN Lavis, president of Woodlands Women’s Institute, opened the July meeting by welcoming all members and especially two new members, Louise Fagan and Barbara Endres.

Maureen asked everyone to join in the saying of the Mary Stewart Collect and to keep all absent members who are not well in thoughts and prayers.

New competition booklets were handed out and as the hall was needed for a local church’s school holiday programme, tea was served and the meeting closed early.
