HEXTABLE & SWANLEY VILLAGE WOMEN'S INSTITUTE

2005 saw our WI meeting on the fourth Thursday in the month instead of the first after 87 years.

New president, Pat Gager, welcomed everyone. A coffee morning raised £125 for the Tsunami Appeal.

Our speaker, Linda Stewart, regaled us with stories on cooking for the Duke and Duchess of York.

Future events include a games evening, a visit to the London Museum and St Paul's Cathedral. The evening ended with a fun quiz.

Next month Maurice Tripp will entertain us with "Why the Show must go on". If interested please phone Pat on 01322 663536 or Dot on 01322 665234 a warm welcome awaits.
