Marion Pearson won the best dressed competition with her Union Jack themed outfit.

Our speaker was David Goldsmith who talked to us about Eye Care Services in the Amazon. This truly inspirational talk gave us all an insight into the difficulties faced by the people living in such remote villages in the Amazon and how, in many cases, blindness could be avoided with simple ophthalmic procedures if only they were more readily available. David and his team of volunteers have helped to save or improve the sight of many people and he retold heart-warming stories of how people’s lives had been transformed by this miracle of modern science.

Two of our members celebrated birthdays this month, Gill Poulton and Pamela Rehal. The next meeting will be held on Wednesday May 25 where members will enjoy a ploughman’s lunch before discussing this year’s WI Resolutions. For further information or membership enquiries please telephone: Anita: 01435 863479 or Margaret: 01435 867076.
